EP-PWD3500 Planetary Winch Drive Gearbox – 35,000 Nm
Brevini PWD3500 Compatible Replacement | EVER POWER
IL EP-PWD3500 is EVER POWER’s solution for applications where standard-size gearboxes cannot handle the torque or duty. Replacing the Brevini riduttori PWD3500, this 3-to-4-stage planetary drive delivers 35.000 Nm peak output torque with a broad ratio selection covering 30:1 to 250:1, all within a sealed, corrosion-resistant housing designed for the harshest offshore and heavy industrial environments.
Panoramica del prodotto
Served industries: offshore pipe-laying vessels, active heave compensation (AHC) winch systems, large crawler and ring cranes, ROV launch and recovery systems (LARS), and subsea cable tensioners. The EP-PWD3500 incorporates a torsionally flexible coupling interface at the motor end to absorb hydraulic motor torque ripple and protect internal gears from resonance-induced fatigue.

Principio di funzionamento
Where ratio requirements exceed what a 3-stage design can efficiently provide, the EP-PWD3500 optionally adds a fourth reduction stage within the same external envelope, reaching 250:1 overall ratio without tandem-connecting two separate gearboxes. The torsional flex coupling at the motor interface absorbs cyclic torque ripple from hydraulic motors (typically 5-15% ripple amplitude), preventing resonant excitation of the planetary gear mesh – especially important in AHC applications where motor speed and direction reverse frequently.
Vantaggi principali
| ◼ Up to 250:1 Single-Unit Ratio Eliminates costly tandem gearbox arrangements for very high reduction needs. |
◼ Torsional Flex Motor Interface Damps motor torque ripple, protecting gear teeth from fatigue at high cycle counts. |
| ◼ Marine-Grade Coating 720+ hour salt spray test. Suitable for offshore C5M corrosion zone. |
◼ -35 degC Cold Start Capable Low-pour-point synthetic oil and cold-rated FKM seals enable Arctic duty. |
| ◼ Compatible Replacement Fit Engineered to match Brevini PWD3500 bolt pattern and shaft dimensions for direct retrofit. |

Struttura e tecnologia dei materiali
The housing is externally coated with a marine-grade two-part epoxy system (total DFT >= 250 microns). Gear materials are 17CrNiMo6 or 18CrNiMo7-6 vacuum-arc-remelted for superior core toughness. The output shaft runs in a double-row tapered roller bearing assembly pre-loaded at the factory to prevent axial play under combined radial/axial rope loads.
Scenari applicativi tipici
| Industria | Applicazione | Note sullo scenario |
|---|---|---|
| Al largo | AHC (Active Heave Compensation) winch | Frequent direction reversals demand low backlash and torque-ripple damping – both delivered. |
| Subsea | LARS (Launch And Recovery System) | High-ratio (200:1+) allows very precise lowering speed control for ROV deployment. |
| Pipeline | Pipe-laying vessel tensioner drive | Continuous high-torque hold combined with slow linear speed – ideal for 3-4 stage design. |
| Heavy Crane | Crawler crane main hoist upgrade | Arctic-rated units deployed in construction projects with no cold-start issues. |
Guida alla selezione
- AHC or Standard Winch? – AHC applications need the flex coupling and low backlash option.
- Rapporto richiesto – 3-stage for 30:1-150:1; 4-stage for 150:1-250:1.
- Motor Type and Displacement – for proper torque and speed matching.
- Corrosion Zone – C4, C5M (offshore) or CX (very aggressive).
- Temperature Range – Arctic-rated variants use different seals and lubricant; please specify.

| Paese | Applicazione | Feedback |
|---|---|---|
| United Kingdom | North Sea AHC winch replacement on MPSV | “The flex coupling option was the deciding factor. Our original Brevini had gear wear from motor ripple. The EVER POWER unit has run without that issue for 11 months.” – Chief Engineer, Aberdeen. |
| Russia | Siberian pipeline crawler crane main hoist | “Cold-start at -32 degC in January. No stiffness or unusual noise. The Arctic-spec lubrication clearly works.” – Site Engineer, Yamal Peninsula. |
| Singapore | LARS winch for deep-water ROV support vessel | “EVER POWER delivered all 4 units within 5 weeks, including DNV witness testing.” – Project Engineer, Jurong. |
Domande frequenti
Q: Can the EP-PWD3500 be supplied with DNV or BV certification?
A: Yes. Third-party witness testing by DNV GL or Bureau Veritas can be arranged. Please state this at order stage.
