EP-CTD3700 Flagship Planetary Track Drive Gearbox ?? 37,000 Nm
Brevini CTD3700 Compatible Replacement | EVER POWER
The EP-CTD3700 is EVER POWER’s most powerful planetary track drive gearbox ?? the flagship of the CTD replacement series. Engineered to replace the Brevini riduttori CTD3700, this unit delivers a class-leading 37,000 Nm output torque and a maximum ratio of 300:1 from a single sealed housing, serving the largest hydraulic mining excavators, ultra-heavy crawler cranes and extreme-duty offshore tracked platforms where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.
Product Overview
Target machines: 70-100 t+ hydraulic excavators, large-class crawler cranes (600 t+ lifting), TBM backup crawler track systems, heavy tracked launch and recovery systems for subsea equipment, and industrial tracked furnace car drives in steel mills. The EP-CTD3700 uses 18CrNiMo7-6 vacuum-arc-remelted steel throughout all gear stages ?? the same material specification used in aircraft landing gear gearboxes ?? delivering maximum core toughness for peak shock loads that would fracture lower-grade materials.
Optional integrated dual oil temperature monitoring (input and output sump) combined with vibration monitoring provides a comprehensive health data stream for any predictive maintenance platform.

Working Principle
The 4-stage coaxial arrangement achieves 300:1 in a single housing by stacking four planetary stages. Stage 1 accepts the high-speed motor input at up to 2,000 rpm; each successive stage multiplies torque while reducing speed. The final output stage uses a large-bore taper roller bearing assembly factory-shimmed to zero axial play ?? essential for carrying the combined chain tension, sprocket offset and overturning loads of a 90 t excavator track system.
The dual oil temperature monitoring uses a PT100 probe in both input-side and output-side oil sumps. Comparing temperatures between the two positions detects abnormal heat generation in individual gear stages before it manifests as visible damage ?? enabling predictive maintenance action with 3-4 weeks’ advance notice based on real operating data from multiple fleet installations.
Core Advantages
|
◆ Class-Leading 37,000 Nm
Top of the CTD series ?? no compromise for the largest tracked machines in operation. |
◆ 300:1 Single Housing
Eliminates tandem gearbox complexity for very high reduction applications. |
|
◆ VAR Steel Throughout
18CrNiMo7-6 vacuum-arc-remelted steel in all gear stages ?? aircraft landing gear specification. |
◆ Dual Temperature Monitoring
Input and output sump temperature comparison enables stage-specific fault detection. |
|
◆ C5M Marine Epoxy + A4-80 Fasteners
Full offshore corrosion protection ?? suitable for acid mine drainage and saltwater environments. |
Structure and Material Technology
All gear blanks in every stage are precision-forged from 18CrNiMo7-6 VAR steel, vacuum degassed to minimise inclusion content. Carburising depth is controlled to 1.0-1.5 mm; hardness profiles are documented per unit in the quality record. Tooth flanks are ground to DIN ISO 1328 accuracy class 5. The housing interior is shot-peened in all bore and seat zones to improve fatigue resistance. All exterior threaded fasteners are stainless steel A4-80 ?? no galvanic corrosion risk in wet mine or offshore environments. The output flange registers are ground to 0.010 mm total runout for accurate sprocket mounting on large-class machines.
Typical Application Scenarios
| Industry | Machine / Use | Key Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Mining | 90 t excavator, hard rock open cast | VAR steel handles peak shock loads from buried blasted rock; monitoring prevents unplanned stops. |
| Crane | 550 t crawler crane undercarriage | 300:1 ratio provides precise ultra-slow travel during lift setup on soft ground. |
| Tunnelling | TBM backup crawler system | Continuous 24/7 slow push; dual temperature monitoring tracks stage health continuously. |
| Steel Mill | 200 t furnace car track drive | Ultra-slow precise load movement; spring brake holds 200 t car on inclined transfer route. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the benefit of VAR steel over standard alloy steel for planetary gears?
A: Vacuum arc remelting removes non-metallic inclusions that act as fatigue crack initiation sites. VAR steel consistently shows 20-40% longer fatigue life in rotating gear applications at equivalent hardness.
Q: Can the EP-CTD3700 be certified for use on a DNV-classed offshore structure?
A: Yes. Third-party witness inspection and certification by DNV GL can be arranged. Please state this requirement at order, as it adds approximately 2 weeks to lead time.
Q: How does dual temperature monitoring improve predictive maintenance?
A: By comparing input and output sump temperatures, abnormal heat generation in individual stages can be identified. In fleet experience, this provides 3-6 weeks of advance warning before a failure that would otherwise be undetected until audible noise or chip-in-oil detection.
Q: What is the extended warranty option?
A: An extended 24-month warranty is available under a service agreement. Contact EVER POWER for terms.
