EP318R4 Planetary Gearbox — Direct Replacement for Trasmital Bonfiglioli 318R4<\/h2>\n

The Ever Power EP318R4<\/strong> is a Right-Angle planetary gearbox<\/strong> engineered as a dimensional and performance replacement for the Trasmital Bonfiglioli 318R4<\/strong>. Built on a four-stage architecture with a nominal ratio window of 150:1 to 800:1<\/strong>, it delivers approximately 160,000 Nm<\/strong> of nominal output torque while preserving the original mounting footprint so field retrofits are straightforward.

3. Working Principle and Structure<\/h2>\n

The EP318R4 uses an epicyclic gear train in which a central sun gear<\/strong> drives three or four planet gears<\/strong> held by a rigid planet carrier. The planets orbit inside a stationary internal ring gear<\/strong>, with output taken from the carrier shaft. Torque is split across the planet set so each tooth carries only a fraction of total load, yielding very high torque density per unit mass. In multi-stage variants, successive planet sets are cascaded inside the same housing, multiplying the total ratio while keeping the output coaxial with the input.<\/p>\n

\"Planetary<\/p>\n

The EP318R4 is built around a one-piece forged ductile-iron housing, a solid forged planet carrier, carburized and ground alloy steel gears, taper-roller output bearings, and twin-lip nitrile rotary seals with a dust-exclusion ring.<\/p>\n

4. Core Advantages<\/h2>\n
\n
\n
★ High Torque Density<\/div>\n
Compact envelope delivers elevated Nm output per kilogram, freeing valuable machine footprint.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
★ Dimensional Drop-In<\/div>\n
Shaft heights, flange bolt circles, and output interfaces match the Italian original so retrofits take hours, not days.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
★ Carburized Planet Set<\/div>\n
20CrMnMo gears quenched to HRC 58-62 resist pitting under shock loads up to 2.5x nominal.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
★ L10h = 20,000 h<\/div>\n
Bearings rated for two full industrial shifts a day over five years before first preventive swap.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
★ IP65 Sealing<\/div>\n
Nitrile twin-lip rotary shaft seals with dust rings protect against slurry, sand, and washdown sprays.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
★ Cooler Return Stock<\/div>\n
Replacement units kept in buffer warehouses shorten emergency shipping to roughly ten working days.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

5. Structure and Material Craftsmanship<\/h2>\n

Every EP318R4 housing is cast from GGG50 ductile iron and stress-relieved before machining to keep critical bores within 0.02 mm of tolerance over the full operating temperature range. Planet and sun gears use 20CrMnMo<\/strong> alloy steel, case-carburized to a surface hardness of HRC 58-62 over a 1.0 to 1.6 mm case depth, then profile-ground to ISO quality grade 6. The planet carrier is forged from SCM440 and induction hardened at bearing seats. Output shafts are manufactured from 42CrMo4V quenched-and-tempered steel, with keyways broached to ISO P9 and splines cut to DIN 5480. Bearing selection pairs SKF or NSK taper rollers on the output with precision deep-groove bearings on the input, sized for bucket-strike shock loads with a 1.6 minimum safety factor. The internal ring gear is a nitrided 34CrAlNi7 sleeve pressed into the housing, providing long wear life without weakening the casing. Read more about our factory capability<\/a>.<\/p>\n
