FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Ever-Power develops and manufactures cycloidal gear boxes to round 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, performance and efficiency. As well as the constantly extended standard range, these cycloidal precision equipment 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 electric motor for longer service life
Just ridiculously rugged since all get-out
The overall Ever-Power design proves to be extremely durable, and it needs minimal maintenance following installation. The Ever-Power may be the most reliable reducer in the industrial marketplace, in fact it is a perfect suit for applications in heavy industry such as for example oil & gas, principal and secondary metal processing, industrial food production, metal reducing and forming machinery, wastewater treatment, extrusion products, 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 many robust solution in the many compact footprint. The main 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 instead of the more traditional involute tooth profile, which gets rid of shear forces at any point of contact. This style introduces compression forces, instead of those shear forces that could exist with an involute equipment mesh. That provides a number of efficiency benefits such as high shock load capacity (>500% of rating), minimal friction and wear, lower mechanical service elements, among numerous others. The cycloidal style also has a sizable output shaft bearing period, which provides 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 shown, the green shaft may be the input and its own rotation causes an eccentric motion in the yellowish cycloidal disk. The cycloidal disk is targeted at a stationary outer band, represented in the animation by the outer band 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 insight shaft. Because the individual parts are well-suited to 3D printing, this opens the door to easily prototyping customized styles and gearing ratios.
