“EP series” inline helical gear reducers include a HP selection of ¼-100 HP, 37-147 mm box sizes, 2:1-120:1 speed ratios and a cast iron housing for unquestioned strength and reliability. Offered in a variety of NEMA C-encounter quill style motor input flange configurations, the “EP” series allows users to very easily locate off-the-shelf NEMA motors instead of custom gear motors with special 1st pinion gears. EP’s bolt hole pattern, foundation to center line height, output shaft diameter and usable shaft duration match the “R” group of the inline market head making plant retrofitting a breeze.

EP Gear’s 800 Series contains a focused collection of compact, heavy duty helical gear drives that offer long-life performance and simplified maintenance. A broad range of reduction ratios suit a straight broader range of specifications, while a number of insight shaft configurations maximize versatility. In addition, the number of products that complement this series of gear drives make it an ideal choice for today’s commercial distributor.
The 800 Series offers a functional interchange for ep and other European producers’ helical gear drives,making it uniquely practical for replacement applications.
Four basic sizes 1/6 – 10 HP
Over 40 different ratios 1.5:1 – 71:1 double-reduction ratios 36:1 – 250:1 triple-reduction ratios
Non-flanged and NEMA c-face input styles
Base-mount and output flange-mount models available
Output-shaft diameters from 3/4″ to at least one 1 5/8″
The standard NEMA C-face design will accept any standard NEMA engine, which makes it exceptionally versatile.
Ratios up to 70:1 in just two stages means increased efficiency and reduced case size.
Available oil seals simplify program product maintenance.
All units could be double sealed upon both the input and result to withstand the rigors of even the most demanding applications.
800 Series drives come pre-filled with synthetic lubrication for your unique mounting position.
Sizes 3 and 4 are lubricated for life which promotes trouble-free procedure.
Washdown duty units in white or stainless steel epoxy coatings make these equipment drives perfect for the most serious Washdown.
Right angle bevel speed reducers decrease speed and increase torque from the driver end to the driven result in a drive system. They possess a beveled gear which allows the reducer to rotate in both directions and operate with low sound and vibration. They are typically made out of durable, corrosion-resistant components like stainless steel.
Features

The exclusive usage of the involute helicoid thread form on the worm and gear offers high efficiencies and long service existence on draglines and shovels. The hardened,floor and polished alloy metal worm develops a soft, work hardened surface on the bronze gear. For this reason, the worm gears use in and improve with prolonged service while other gears are wearing out.
