FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Ever-Power develops and manufactures cycloidal equipment boxes to round off the product portfolio. In drive technology, especially in the field of device machinery, automation and robotics, these small designed, high transmission precision gear boxes are used specifically to meet the highest demands for stiffness, overall performance and efficiency. As well as 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 concise dimensional footprint
Exceptional “built-in” overhung load carrying capability
High efficiency (>95%) per reduction stage
Minimal reflected inertia to motor for longer service life
Just ridiculously rugged because 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 cycloidal gearbox reducer in the commercial marketplace, and it is a perfect match for applications in heavy industry such as oil & gas, major and secondary metal processing, industrial food production, metal slicing and forming machinery, wastewater treatment, extrusion devices, among others.

Cycloidal advantages over additional styles of gearing;

The Ever-Power 3000 and our related products that make use of cycloidal gearing technology deliver the many 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 instead of the more traditional involute tooth profile, which eliminates shear forces at any stage of contact. This design introduces compression forces, rather than those shear forces that would can be found with an involute equipment mesh. That provides a number of overall performance benefits such as high shock load capacity (>500% of ranking), minimal friction and wear, lower mechanical service factors, among many others. The cycloidal style also has a large output shaft bearing span, which provides 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 proven, the green shaft may be the input and its rotation causes an eccentric motion in the yellow cycloidal disk. The cycloidal disk is geared to a stationary outer band, represented in the computer animation by the outer band of grey segments. Its movement is transferred to 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 person parts are well-suited to 3D printing, this opens the entranceway to easily prototyping custom designs and gearing ratios.
