FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Ever-Power develops and manufactures cycloidal equipment boxes to circular off the product portfolio. In drive technology, especially in the field of device machinery, automation and robotics, these compact designed, high tranny precision gear boxes are used especially to meet the highest demands for stiffness, functionality and efficiency. In addition to the constantly extended regular range, these cycloidal precision gear boxes can be adapted to consumer requirements upon request.

Capable of handling larger “shock” loads (>500%) of rating in comparison to worm, helical, etc.
High reduction ratios and torque density in a compact dimensional footprint
Exceptional “built-in” overhung load carrying capability
High efficiency (>95%) per reduction stage
Minimal reflected inertia to engine for longer service life
Just ridiculously rugged because all get-out
The overall Ever-Power design proves to be extremely cycloidal gearbox durable, and it needs minimal maintenance following installation. The Ever-Power may be the most reliable reducer in the commercial marketplace, and it is a perfect suit for applications in weighty industry such as for example oil & gas, main and secondary metal processing, commercial food production, metal reducing and forming machinery, wastewater treatment, extrusion apparatus, among others.

Cycloidal advantages over various other styles of gearing;

The Ever-Power 3000 and our related products that utilize cycloidal gearing technology deliver the the majority of robust solution in the the majority of compact footprint. The main power train is comprised of an eccentric roller bearing that drives a wheel around a set of inner pins, keeping the decrease high and the rotational inertia low. The wheel includes a curved tooth profile rather than the more traditional involute tooth profile, which gets rid of shear forces at any stage of contact. This style introduces compression forces, instead of those shear forces that would exist with an involute equipment mesh. That provides several performance benefits such as for example high shock load capacity (>500% of ranking), minimal friction and wear, lower mechanical service elements, among numerous others. The cycloidal design also has a big output shaft bearing span, which gives exceptional overhung load features without requiring any extra expensive components.

A cycloidal drive has some similarities to both planetary gearing and strain-wave gears. In the image demonstrated, the green shaft may be the input and its own rotation causes an eccentric movement in the yellow cycloidal disk. The cycloidal disk is targeted at a stationary outer band, represented in the animation by the outer ring of grey segments. Its movement is used in the purple result shaft via rollers or pins that interface to the holes in the disk. Like planetary gearing, the output shaft rotates in the opposite direction to the input shaft. Because the individual parts are well-suited to 3D printing, this opens the door to easily prototyping custom styles and gearing ratios.
