Product Features
The 700 Series’ huge oil reservoir provides efficient heat dissipation and lubrication for longer operating lifestyle.
Its multi-position mounting flexibility permits installation in practically any position.
Housings are straddle-milled, best and bottom, for precise alignment of horizontal and vertical bases.
Internal baffles assure positive, leak-free venting.
The 700 Series’ rugged casing, fabricated of fine-grained, gear-quality cast iron, provides optimum strength for optimum durability, as well as greater precision during worm and gear alignment.
EP Gear’s 700 Series high-strength bronze worm gear is straddle mounted between heavy-duty tapered roller bearings to increase thrust and overhung load capacities, sizes 713-760.
Our 700 Series’ high-strength steel result shaft assures capacity for high torque and overhung loads.
Pipe plugs allow easy fill, level, and drain in any mounting position.
The 700 Series’ super-finished oil-seal diameters on both input and output shafts extend seal existence.

GEARBOX REDUCERS
Correct angle gearboxes (worm and planetary) are durable and built for 90° turns. Inline reducers (parallel shaft and planetary) are an ideal match for motors with high insight speeds, or when gearmotor performance is important. Get in touch with our technical sales staff for help identifying which gearbox alternative is best for you.
RIGHT ANGLE REDUCERS
WORM GEAR REDUCER
EP’s worm equipment reducers were created with a hollow bore and allow for a corner convert with optional dual output. The reducers come in 12 ratios ranging from 5:1 to 100:1, with non-back-drivable ratios 30:1 and higher. Our right angle gearboxes were created with five mounting choices providing versatility when incorporating the reducer into product.
RIGHT ANGLE BEVEL GEARBOX
bevel-right-angle-gearbox
The proper angle bevel gearbox combines the top features of our right angle worm and planetary inline reducers. With a solid and efficient right angle configuration, our correct angle planetary gearboxes offer a robust solution. The proper angle bevel gearbox will come in 18 ratios ranging from 5:1 to 1000:1, in fact it is back-drivable at all ratios.
INLINE REDUCERS
I-SERIES PLANETARY GEARBOX
i-series-planetary-gearbox
Our I-Series small planetary gearbox configurations provide the smallest footprint and quietest procedure of our speed reducers. These gearboxes are designed to manage varying loads with small backlash. With frame sizes 52cm, 62cm, and 81cm, 12 ratios which range from 5:1 to 308:1, we’ve a solution to fit your needs. Our 52 frame size can be available with plastic-type gears for noise-sensitive applications.
INLINE PLANETARY GEARBOX
inline-planetary-gearbox
Our inline planetary gearbox configurations supply the highest efficiency and best result torque of most our rate reducers. These gearboxes are created to handle varying loads with little backlash. Planetary gear reducers operate more quietly than parallel shaft reducers. With 18 ratio options which range from 5:1 to 1000:1, we have a solution to suit your needs.
PARALLEL SHAFT GEARBOX
parallel-shaft-gearbox
Parallel shaft gearboxes will be the top choice for constant duty applications. Their equipment cluster design provides an effective method for dissipating temperature. Parallel shaft gearboxes have the shortest amount of our inline gear reducer options therefore they work very well in conditions with limited space. Our parallel shaft gear reducers offer an affordable drop-in substitute solution for most little parallel shaft gearmotors.
Wormwheel gearboxes pass several names, including 90-degree gearboxes, right angle gearboxes, rate reducers, worm gear reducers and worm drive gearboxes. Gear reduction boxes include a gear arrangement when a gear in the form of 
a screw, also referred to as a worm, meshes with a worm gear. These gears are typically made from bronze and the worms are steel or stainless steel.
While worm gears are similar to a spur gear, the worm gearboxes are considerably smaller than other gear reduction boxes. A principal benefit of worm equipment reducers is usually that they create an output that’s 90° from the input and can be used to transmit higher torque or decrease rotational speed. Frequently, a worm gearbox has right hand threads; to change the path of the result, a left-hands thread worm gearbox is necessary.
