FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Ever-Power develops and manufactures cycloidal equipment boxes to round off the merchandise portfolio. In drive technology, especially in the field of device machinery, automation and robotics, these compact designed, high transmission precision gear boxes are used specifically to meet the highest demands for stiffness, performance and efficiency. In addition to the constantly extended standard range, these cycloidal precision equipment boxes could be adapted to consumer 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 compact 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 as 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 fit for applications in heavy industry such as for example oil & gas, main and secondary metal processing, commercial food production, metal trimming and forming machinery, wastewater treatment, extrusion tools, among others.

Cycloidal advantages over 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 main power train is comprised of an eccentric roller bearing that drives a wheel around a couple 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 stage of contact. This design introduces compression forces, instead of those shear forces that could can be found with an involute equipment mesh. That provides numerous overall performance benefits such as high shock load capacity (>500% of rating), minimal friction and wear, lower mechanical service elements, among many others. The cycloidal style also has a large output shaft bearing period, which provides exceptional overhung load capabilities without requiring any additional expensive components.

A cycloidal drive has some similarities to both planetary gearing and strain-wave gears. In the picture demonstrated, the green shaft is the input and its rotation causes an eccentric movement in the yellowish cycloidal disk. The cycloidal disk is certainly geared to a stationary outer band, represented in the computer animation by the outer ring of grey segments. Its motion is used in the purple result shaft via rollers or pins that interface to the holes in the disk. Like planetary gearing, the result shaft rotates in the opposite direction to the insight shaft. Because the individual parts are well-appropriate to 3D printing, this opens the door to easily prototyping custom designs and gearing ratios.
