FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Ever-Power develops and manufactures cycloidal gear boxes to circular off the merchandise portfolio. In drive technology, especially in neuro-scientific device machinery, automation and robotics, these compact designed, high transmission precision gear boxes are used specifically to meet the best demands for stiffness, efficiency and efficiency. As well as the constantly extended regular range, these cycloidal precision gear boxes can be adapted to client requirements upon request.

Capable of handling larger “shock” loads (>500%) of rating compared to worm, helical, etc.
High reduction ratios and torque density in a concise 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 entire Ever-Power design proves to be extremely durable, and it requires minimal maintenance following installation. The Ever-Power is the most reliable reducer in the industrial marketplace, and it is a perfect suit for applications in weighty industry such as oil & gas, major and secondary metal processing, industrial food production, metal slicing and forming machinery, wastewater treatment, extrusion equipment, among others.

Cycloidal advantages over various other styles of gearing;

The Ever-Power 3000 and our related products that use cycloidal gearing technology deliver the the majority of robust solution in the many compact footprint. The primary power train is made up 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 incorporates a curved tooth profile rather than the more traditional involute tooth profile, which eliminates shear forces at any point of contact. This design introduces compression forces, instead of those shear forces that would exist with an involute gear mesh. That provides several functionality benefits such as high shock load capability (>500% of ranking), minimal friction and use, lower mechanical service factors, among many others. The cycloidal design also has a large output shaft bearing period, which gives exceptional overhung load features without requiring any additional expensive components.

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