Epicyclic Gearing & Planetary Gearboxes for Industrial Drives

Compare precision planetary reducers and heavy-duty EP drive families, then prepare the torque, ratio, motor and mounting data needed for a reviewable RFQ.

Industrial planetary drive families

EP300 Modular, EP400 Track, EP600 Wheel & EP700 Slewing Drives

Shortlist architecture by output torque, ratio, driver, mounting, braking and external-load requirements before selecting the final model.

Engineering and manufacturing review

Move from Product Family to Release-Ready Configuration

Match the motor, duty cycle, shaft or flange interface, mounting position and acceptance checks before releasing the gearbox configuration.

Product architecture

Two planetary gearbox systems for different duty profiles

The catalogue is organized around precision servo reducers and industrial/mobile planetary drives. Start with the machine duty, then narrow the series by ratio, output torque, interface and installation constraints.

Industrial and mobile planetary drives

EP300 modular gearboxes sit alongside EP400 track, EP600 wheel and EP700 slewing drives. Their final selection depends on torque, ratio, motor type, mounting, braking where applicable, thermal duty and external loads.

Interface control

Confirm the exact drawing before machining mating parts

Family-level dimensions help establish the envelope, but the release drawing should confirm pilot diameters, bolt circles, shaft form, motor adapter, output interface, ratio and installation clearance.

  • Motor model and input interface
  • Continuous and peak output torque
  • Required output speed or ratio
  • Mounting orientation and space envelope
  • Backlash or lost-motion requirement
  • Radial and axial output loads

Industrial epicyclic gearing

Selection checkpoints for EP-series drives

EP300 modular planetary

Check service-adjusted torque, ratio, stage arrangement, input speed, thermal capacity, shaft loads and mounting position.

EP400 track drive

Check track interface, hydraulic motor, ratio, braking requirement, sprocket geometry and external loads.

EP600 wheel drive

Check wheel or drum flange, wheel radius, ratio, torque, driver and wheel-side bearing duty.

EP700 slewing drive

Check slew support, output pinion or spline, driver, brake or holding duty and the mating slew-ring geometry.

Manufacturing and inspection context

Machining and inspection are part of the same release path as model selection. Define which dimensions, backlash or runout conditions, mounting datums and functional checks matter to the machine so the quotation and inspection scope refer to the same acceptance target.

Prepare a complete planetary gearbox RFQ

Define motion

Provide motor speed, required output speed, normal and peak torque, acceleration, reversing frequency and starts per hour.

Define interfaces

Provide the motor flange, output shaft/flange/pulley, mounting orientation, pilots and the location of radial or axial loads.

Define acceptance

State backlash, runout, key dimensions, sealing, brake behavior or other checks that directly affect machine performance.
