< 1 arcmin gear play high torsional stiffness compact design, saves space lower costs by reducing the number of components required high degrees of reliability and uptime precise individual elements ensure high efficiency prolonged service life through minimum wear 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 transmitting precision gear boxes are used specifically to meet the best demands for stiffness, efficiency and efficiency. In addition to the constantly extended regular range, these cycloidal precision equipment boxes could be adapted to customer 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 as all get-out
The entire Ever-Power design proves to be extremely durable, and it requires minimal maintenance following installation. The Ever-Power may be the most dependable reducer in the commercial marketplace, in fact it is a perfect match for applications in weighty industry such as oil & gas, major and secondary metal processing, industrial food production, metal reducing and forming machinery, wastewater treatment, extrusion apparatus, among others.

Cycloidal advantages over additional styles of gearing;

The Ever-Power 3000 and our related products that utilize cycloidal gearing technology deliver the most 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 internal pins, keeping the reduction high and the rotational inertia low. The wheel incorporates a curved tooth profile rather than the more traditional involute tooth profile, which removes shear forces at any stage of contact. This style introduces compression forces, instead of those shear forces that would can be found with an involute gear mesh. That provides a number of efficiency benefits such as for example high shock load capacity (>500% of rating), minimal friction and use, lower mechanical service elements, among many others. The cycloidal style also has a sizable output shaft bearing span, which gives exceptional overhung load capabilities without requiring any extra expensive components.

A cycloidal drive has some similarities to both planetary gearing and strain-wave gears. In the picture demonstrated, the green shaft may be the input and its rotation causes an eccentric motion in the yellow-colored 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 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 contrary direction to the insight shaft. Because the individual parts are well-appropriate to 3D printing, this opens the door to easily prototyping customized designs and gearing ratios.
