EP-607 Series \u00b7 Heavy-Duty Wheel Drive \u00b7 L2 \/ L3<\/div>\n

17,000 Nm
\nThree ratios for three different machines.<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Most planetary wheel drive gearbox<\/a> models cluster their ratios within a narrow band \u2014 four or five options separated by 20-40% so the engineer can fine-tune ground speed for a single machine type. The EP-607 takes the opposite approach. Its three ratios (33, 75, 108) span a 3.3:1 range with deliberate gaps between them, because the machines that need 17,000 Nm of wheel torque are not variations of the same platform. They are fundamentally different vehicles that happen to share a torque requirement.<\/p>\n

A wheeled excavator needs speed. A mining hauler needs traction. A modular transporter needs precision creep. The 607 puts each of those needs at a dedicated ratio point rather than compromising between them with intermediate values that serve none of them optimally. Available in both L2 (two-stage) and L3 (three-stage) configurations, with integral parking brakes from 300 to 600 Nm and manual declutch for emergency towing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Every wheel is independently driven, often 16-32 units in a single trailer. The 108:1 ratio provides sub-1 km\/h creep speed at low motor rpm for millimetre-precision positioning under loads where overshoot is not acceptable.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

\n

Creep Speed Engineering \u2014 What Happens Below 2 km\/h<\/h2>\n

At ratio 108, the 607L3 operates in a speed regime where conventional wheel drive engineering assumptions break down. Below 2 km\/h, the requirements shift from traction and efficiency to position accuracy and speed stability \u2014 parameters that are rarely discussed in gearbox specifications but dominate the engineering challenge of heavy transport operations.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Speed Stability at 0.3 km\/h<\/strong><\/p>\n

At 0.3 km\/h with a 650 mm tyre, the gearbox output turns at 1.2 rpm \u2014 one revolution every 50 seconds. At this speed, any irregularity in hydraulic flow (pump pulsation, relief valve chatter, thermal expansion) translates directly to jerk at the wheel. The 108:1 ratio acts as a mechanical low-pass filter: a 5% flow oscillation at the motor produces only a 0.046% speed oscillation at the wheel, because the high inertia of the planetary gear train damps high-frequency disturbances before they reach the output.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Position Resolution<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each full revolution of the motor shaft moves the wheel 2 x 3.14 x 0.65 \/ 108 = 37.8 mm on the ground. A motor capable of 0.5-degree positioning accuracy delivers ground-level position resolution of approximately 0.05 mm per motor step. This is the precision that allows an SPMT to position a 300-tonne bridge girder onto bearing pads with tolerances measured in single-digit millimetres \u2014 using wheel drives as the final positioning actuator.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Thermal Behaviour at Creep<\/strong><\/p>\n

At very low output speeds, the gearbox generates almost no internal heat because the power throughput is minimal (17,000 Nm at 1 rpm = 1.78 kW). The housing acts as a heat sink rather than a heat source, absorbing and dissipating the small amount of mesh friction without any oil temperature rise. This means the thermal power limit of the gearbox is never the constraining factor in creep-speed applications \u2014 the constraint is always the hydraulic system upstream.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lubrication at Near-Zero Speed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oil-bath splash lubrication relies on gear rotation to distribute oil to the bearings. Below 2 rpm output speed, the splash action is minimal. The 607L3 addresses this with bearing pre-grease pockets and oil channel geometry that ensures the upper bearing surfaces remain wetted even at sustained near-zero rotation. For applications requiring extended periods (hours) at sub-0.5 km\/h, specify the Viton-sealed variant, which includes additional internal oil routing passages that maintain bearing lubrication down to output speeds approaching zero.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Heavy-Duty Wheel Drive at 17,000 Nm \u2014 The Machines That Need It<\/h2>\n

\"Heavy<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Large Wheeled Excavators (18-25 t)<\/h3>\n

Production wheeled excavators with operating weights of 18-25 tonnes need both highway-speed travel (15-20 km\/h for inter-site mobility) and the full 17,000 Nm for simultaneous travel and upper-structure slewing<\/a> during material loading. The 607L2 at ratio 33 provides the speed, and the L2 two-stage configuration maximises efficiency at this demanding continuous duty point.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Rigid and Articulated Mining Haulers<\/h3>\n

Mining dump trucks in the 25-35 tonne payload class ascending 20-25% loaded haul roads for 8-10 hours per shift. The 607L3 at ratio 75 provides sustained hill-climb traction at 6-8 km\/h, which is the productive speed envelope for most single-bench quarry and open-pit mining haul cycles. The 600 Nm brake option holds the loaded truck on the steepest section of the haul road with the engine shut down for shift changeover.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

SPMTs and Heavy-Lift Transport<\/h3>\n

Self-propelled modular transporters carrying 100-500 tonne indivisible loads (bridge sections, refinery modules, offshore topsides) at walking pace. Each SPMT axle line uses 4-8 planetary wheel drives. The 607L3 at ratio 108 provides the sub-1 km\/h creep speed and millimetre-level position control<\/a> these operations demand, with the 108:1 ratio filtering out hydraulic flow pulsation before it reaches the wheel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Planetary Wheel Drive Gearbox \u2014 Heavy-Duty Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

Why only three ratios when smaller models offer four or five?<\/h3>\n

At 17,000 Nm, the machines are large and expensive enough that each OEM designs the hydraulic circuit around the exact gearbox ratio, not the other way around. A quarry hauler OEM does not need to choose between 75 and 80 \u2014 they need 75, and they size the pump, motor, and valving to match. Adding intermediate ratios (such as 50 or 90) would increase the manufacturing complexity and inventory without serving any real customer requirement. The three points \u2014 fast, medium, creep \u2014 cover the three distinct application domains within this torque class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How many 607L3 units does a typical SPMT trailer line use?<\/h3>\n

A standard 6-axle SPMT module uses 12 wheels (6 axles x 2 wheels), each with its own planetary wheel drive. A heavy-lift transport carrying a 300-tonne refinery module might use four 6-axle modules (48 wheels, 48 units). The 607L3 at ratio 108 is specified per wheel \u2014 there is no shared drive between wheels. Each unit operates independently, which provides inherent redundancy: if one unit fails, the remaining 47 continue to carry and position the load while the failed unit free-wheels on its declutch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What is the difference between the 607 and 609 for mining hauler applications?<\/h3>\n

The 607 delivers 17,000 Nm and the 609 delivers 23,000 Nm. For haulers in the 25-35 tonne payload class, the 607 at ratio 75 provides adequate traction on grades up to 25% with the appropriate tyre selection. For haulers above 35 tonnes or those operating on grades above 25% sustained, the 609 provides the additional torque margin. The frame dimensions are different \u2014 the 609 is larger and heavier (220 kg vs 185 kg) \u2014 so the vehicle chassis must be designed for the specific model from the beginning. Retrofitting a 607 frame with a 609 is not a drop-in change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Can a planetary wheel drive handle sustained reverse-load braking on long downhill grades?<\/h3>\n

Yes, with the correct hydraulic circuit design. During downhill braking, the motor acts as a pump driven by the wheel through the gearbox, and the system pressure is controlled by counterbalance or crossover relief valves<\/a>. The 607 gears handle reverse-load torque identically to driving torque \u2014 the planetary gear mesh is symmetrical and carries the same rated load in both directions. The heat generated during sustained dynamic braking is absorbed by the hydraulic oil and must be dissipated by the system oil cooler, not by the gearbox housing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How does the wheel drive planetary gearbox handle the weight of a 200-tonne SPMT load?<\/h3>\n

The wheel drive transmits rotational torque only. The vertical load from the payload passes through the wheel rim, tyre, and axle structure to the ground \u2014 it does not pass through the gearbox bearings. The gearbox output flange connects to the wheel rim via bolts that transmit torque tangentially, not axial or radial load. The vehicle suspension and axle structure are the load-bearing components. What the gearbox must handle is the tyre-to-ground rolling resistance force, which at 200 tonnes on a flat surface is approximately 40,000-80,000 N total, distributed across all driven wheels.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What happens to wheel drive gearbox<\/a> efficiency at very low speeds (sub-1 rpm output)?<\/h3>\n

At very low output speeds, the absolute power loss inside the gearbox is negligible because the power throughput is tiny (17,000 Nm at 0.5 rpm = 0.89 kW). The efficiency percentage may read lower on a test bench at these speeds because static friction and seal drag represent a larger proportion of the total power, but this is misleading \u2014 the actual energy wasted is less than 100 watts. For creep-speed applications, efficiency percentage is the wrong metric. The relevant metric is positional accuracy and speed stability, both of which improve with higher gear ratio due to the mechanical filtering effect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

22-tonne wheeled excavator platform, 607L2 ratio 33. The machine needs to road at 18 km\/h between urban job sites and then dig utility trenches without losing time. The L2 at 33 delivers the speed, and the two-stage efficiency keeps the hydraulic oil temperature manageable during the combined travel-and-dig duty cycle. We tested three supplier options and the 607 matched the best of them mechanically. Where Ever-Power won was delivery \u2014 4 weeks from order to dock, which was 3 weeks faster than the European alternative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

96 units, 607L3 ratio 108, distributed across four 6-axle SPMT trailer sets for bridge girder and refinery module transport. The units replaced a discontinued European brand. Ever-Power matched the mounting dimensions from the old drawing and the replacement was bolt-for-bolt compatible. We have completed 14 heavy lifts including a 280-tonne transformer move. The creep speed stability at 0.4 km\/h under the transformer was excellent \u2014 the operators reported smoother positioning than the previous units. The declutch feature saved us during one move when a hydraulic hose failed mid-transport and we needed to free-wheel three axles to continue with the remaining 21.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The 600 Nm brake holds on the steepest section during shift change. The 4-star is because we ordered 8 units and two arrived with slightly different paint colour on the housing \u2014 cosmetic only, zero functional impact, but it raised questions from our quality inspector during goods-in inspection.
