EP-PWD3700 Extreme-Duty Planetary Winch Drive Gearbox – 37,000 Nm
Brevini PWD3700 Compatible Replacement | EVER POWER
Le EP-PWD3700 is EVER POWER’s flagship planetary winch drive gearbox. Engineered to directly replace the Brevini riduttori PWD3700, this unit achieves a class-leading 37,000 Nm rated output torque and a maximum ratio of 300:1, making it the go-to choice for deepwater crane operators, offshore heavy-lift contractors and extreme-duty industrial hoist builders.
Présentation du produit
Target applications: deepwater crane main hoists (300 m+ depth), semi-submersible rig drawworks, heavy pipelay tensioner main drives, offshore wind turbine foundation installation cranes, and large-format industrial furnace car drives. The EP-PWD3700 is available with optional integrated oil temperature monitoring et vibration sensor ports for integration into predictive maintenance systems.

Principe de fonctionnement
The EP-PWD3700’s 4-stage planetary arrangement stacks four concentric reduction stages coaxially. Each stage’s planet carrier becomes the sun shaft input to the next, achieving 300:1 reduction in a compact form factor. The output stage bearing pre-load system is factory-set using precision shims so the tapered roller bearing assembly carries both radial rope loads and axial fleet angle loads without play developing over service life. An optional external oil cooler circuit is available for tropical-climate duty above 40 degC ambient.
Principaux avantages
| ★ Class-Leading 37,000 Nm Torque Top-of-range PWD series capacity – handles the most demanding crane and hoist loads. |
★ 300:1 in a Single Housing Eliminates tandem gearbox systems, reducing overall drivetrain length and weight. |
| ★ Condition Monitoring Ready Oil temperature and vibration sensor ports enable Industry 4.0 predictive maintenance integration. |
★ 3.0x Overload Tolerance Momentary overload capacity handles unexpected load spikes without gear tooth damage. |
| ★ C5M Marine Coating + IP68 Option Full offshore corrosion and immersion protection for the most aggressive environments. |

Technologie des structures et des matériaux
The EP-PWD3700 uses 18CrNiMo7-6 vacuum-arc-remelted (VAR) steel – the same grade used in aircraft and wind turbine main gearboxes – carburised to 1.0-1.5 mm case depth and ground to DIN ISO 1328 accuracy class 5. The housing interior is shot-peened to improve fatigue resistance. All external fasteners are stainless steel A4-80 to prevent galvanic corrosion in offshore installations.
Scénarios d'application typiques
| Industrie | Application | Notes de scénario |
|---|---|---|
| Deepwater | Offshore heavy crane main hoist (300 m+) | 300:1 ratio provides precise positioning at depth with large hydraulic motors. |
| Oil & Gas | Semi-sub rig drawworks main drive | 37,000 Nm handles combined hook and drill-string weight spikes during jarring. |
| Renewable Energy | Offshore wind monopile upending crane | Slow controlled rotation of 500+ tonne monopiles requires high torque at very low speed. |
| Steel Industry | EAF electrode positioning drive | Precise low-speed drive under extreme thermal radiation environment. |

Foire aux questions
Q: Is 3.0x overload a one-time or repeatable rating?
A: The 3.0x rating covers momentary (less than 5-second) transient overloads. Repeated application must be reviewed by our engineers to assess cumulative fatigue impact.
Q: Can the gearbox be fitted with dual-motor input flanges?
A: Yes. A dual-input configuration allows two motors to share the driving torque. Contact us for the dual-input technical datasheet.
Q: What condition monitoring sensor types are supported?
A: G1/2 threaded boss positions for PT100 oil temperature probes and M8 tapped pads for accelerometer attachment. Compatible with major PLC and SCADA systems.
