color: #5a6a7a; margin-top: .5rem; text-align: center;\">Korea Ever-Power EP-FAD P0 on a sheetfed offset press cylinder drive. DIN Class 5 profile-ground helical gears start at \u22641 arc-min backlash and maintain that grade through 50+ million impressions \u2014 the fundamental reason EP-FAD is specified by offset press builders over lower-accuracy alternatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: .97rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.78; margin-bottom: 1rem;\">Every printing machine engineer knows that press registration degrades over time. What fewer engineers calculate explicitly is <em>how fast<\/em> it degrades \u2014 and whether the degradation rate, not just the initial specification, determines when the press requires gearbox service. For an offset press running 3 shifts, the cylinder drive gearbox accumulates approximately 10 million impressions per month. At a target service interval of 5 years, the gearbox must maintain acceptable register precision through 500\u2013600 million impressions. The selection decision made at initial press build \u2014 P0 vs P1 vs standard-grade gearbox \u2014 determines whether that target is achievable or whether the press requires a gearbox replacement at year 2.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: .97rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.78; margin-bottom: 1rem;\">The mechanism is gear tooth wear. Every impression cycle \u2014 one rotation of the cylinder gear mesh \u2014 generates a small increment of surface fatigue on the tooth flanks. The rate of this fatigue is governed by the tooth contact stress, which is itself governed by the gear accuracy class. A DIN Class 5 profile-ground gear tooth has a surface finish and profile accuracy that distributes contact stress evenly across the tooth face. A DIN Class 6\u20137 gear has higher surface irregularity, concentrating contact stress at profile deviations and producing higher fatigue per impression cycle. A DIN Class 8+ gear produces even higher contact stress concentration. The result is that a P0\/DIN Class 5 gearbox not only starts with lower backlash \u2014 it grows slower. The compound effect over 100 million impressions is dramatic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: .97rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.78; margin-bottom: 1rem;\">The second factor is thermal stability of the lubricant. Press cylinder drives operate continuously for 8\u201316 hours per shift, and the gearbox internal temperature rises during the first 20\u201340 minutes of operation from ambient to a steady-state thermal equilibrium. Mineral-oil gearbox lubricants show significant viscosity reduction across this temperature range \u2014 as the oil thins, the tooth-to-tooth lubrication film thins, and the effective backlash at the gear mesh increases slightly. Press operators observe this as warmup drift: a register offset that appears during the first hundred impressions of a new run and then stabilises when the press reaches operating temperature. NYOGEL 792D synthetic grease, specified across all EP-FAD, EP-FAB, EP-FADS, and EP-FAL series, shows negligible viscosity change across the \u221210\u00b0C to +90\u00b0C operating range \u2014 eliminating warmup drift as a mechanical gear-train contribution.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Callout --><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; gap: 1rem; align-items: flex-start; background: #E8F2FF; border: 1px solid #C0D8F8; border-radius: 10px; padding: 1.2rem 1.3rem; margin: 1.4rem 0;\">\n<div style=\"font-size: 1.5rem; flex-shrink: 0; margin-top: .1rem;\">\ud83d\udda8\ufe0f<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: .95rem; color: #003b7a; margin-bottom: .25rem;\">The Register Error Calculation at the Cylinder Surface<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: .875rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.65;\">At a print cylinder radius of 100 mm, 1 arc-min of backlash produces a cylinder surface linear error of: 100 mm \u00d7 tan(1\/3438 rad) = <strong>0.029 mm<\/strong>. For a press specified to \u00b10.05 mm colour-to-colour register, this means 1 arc-min of backlash consumes 58% of the register budget. At 1.5 arc-min (a P0\/DIN5 gearbox after 100M impressions), the gear contribution is 0.044 mm \u2014 within spec. At 5.5 arc-min (a P1\/DIN6-7 gearbox after 100M impressions), the gear contribution is <strong>0.160 mm \u2014 more than 3\u00d7 over the register tolerance<\/strong>. The press requires gearbox service or replacement well before 100 million impressions with a P1 starting grade.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u2500\u2500 UNIQUE VISUAL MODULE: Backlash Growth Over Impression Count \u2500\u2500 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 1.5rem;\"><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1.3rem; font-weight: bold; color: #1a2a3a; margin: 0 0 .5rem;\">Backlash Growth vs. Impression Count \u2014 Three Gear Grades Over Press Service Life<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-size: .97rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.78; margin-bottom: 1.1rem;\">The following chart shows representative backlash progression for three gearbox grades over 100 million cylinder drive impressions at rated torque.

High-cycle fatigue life is critical: a slitter on a commercial printing line may execute 500,000 cut cycles per shift \u2014 the gearbox must sustain this duty without backlash growth that would cause cut register to drift over the shift. The individual backlash grade stamp from Korea Ever-Power documents the starting value, enabling maintenance engineers to track wear by periodic measurement rather than assuming from batch statistics.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background: #F5F7FA; border-radius: 6px; padding: .65rem .8rem; font-size: .82rem; color: #5a6a7a; line-height: 1.5;\"><strong style=\"color: #003b7a;\">Key spec:<\/strong> \u22643 arc-min P1; high fatigue life DIN Class 5 gears; individual backlash stamp for wear tracking; 5\u201320:1; 4,000 rpm; IP65 for paper dust and solvent cleaning; square flange.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ==================================================== SECTION 3 \u2014 SPECIFICATION TABLE + SPEC STRIP ==================================================== --><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 3rem 5%; background: #FFFFFF;\">\n<div style=\"max-width: 1100px; margin: 0 auto;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: .72rem; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .14em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #0070cc; display: block; margin-bottom: .4rem;\">Technical Specifications<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 2rem; font-weight: bold; color: #003b7a; border-bottom: 4px solid #F0A500; padding-bottom: .45rem; margin: 0 0 1.3rem; line-height: 1.15;\">EP-Series Printing &amp; Graphic Arts Specification Matrix<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: .97rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.78; margin-bottom: 1.4rem;\">The table below covers all major printing drive types.

The cause is not just the initial grade \u2014 it is the wear mechanism. Understanding why DIN Class 5 gears grow slower helps press builders make the correct specification decision when initial purchase cost might suggest a lower-grade alternative.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style: none; display: flex; flex-direction: column; gap: .8rem; margin: 0 0 1rem;\">\n<li style=\"display: flex; gap: .8rem; align-items: flex-start; background: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #DDE4ED; border-radius: 8px; padding: .85rem 1rem;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1.3rem; font-weight: 800; color: #f0a500; flex-shrink: 0; width: 26px;\">01<\/span>\n<div><strong style=\"font-size: .92rem; color: #003b7a; display: block; margin-bottom: .2rem;\">DIN Class 5 Profile Grinding \u2014 Tooth Contact Stress at the Root of Wear Rate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: .84rem; color: #5a6a7a; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0;\">Gear tooth wear is driven by surface contact fatigue \u2014 the Hertzian contact stress at the tooth face. DIN Class 5 profile grinding produces tooth surface accuracy within \u00b12\u20133 \u00b5m of the theoretical involute profile. DIN Class 6\u20137 ground gears have profile deviations of \u00b15\u20138 \u00b5m. These deviations concentrate the contact stress at local high spots rather than distributing it across the tooth face. Higher stress concentration = higher surface fatigue rate per meshing cycle = faster backlash growth per million impressions. At 100 million cylinder drive cycles, the compound difference is visible: P0\/DIN5 at 1.5 arc-min, P1\/DIN6-7 at 5.5 arc-min.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"display: flex; gap: .8rem; align-items: flex-start; background: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #DDE4ED; border-radius: 8px; padding: .85rem 1rem;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1.3rem; font-weight: 800; color: #f0a500; flex-shrink: 0; width: 26px;\">02<\/span>\n<div><strong style=\"font-size: .92rem; color: #003b7a; display: block; margin-bottom: .2rem;\">NYOGEL 792D Thermal Stability \u2014 Eliminating Warmup Drift<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: .84rem; color: #5a6a7a; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0;\">Mineral-oil gearbox lubricants show a viscosity reduction of 40\u201360% as temperature rises from 20\u00b0C to 60\u00b0C during press warmup. As the oil thins, the elastohydrodynamic film between tooth faces thins, and the effective tooth clearance (the gap between mating teeth) increases slightly. Press operators observe this as warmup drift \u2014 a 0.2\u20130.5 arc-min apparent backlash increase during the first 20\u201340 minutes of each production run, manifesting as a register shift during makeready. NYOGEL 792D synthetic grease shows minimal viscosity change across this temperature range. The gearbox backlash measured cold is the same as measured at operating temperature. Warmup drift from the gear-train contribution is eliminated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"display: flex; gap: .8rem; align-items: flex-start; background: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #DDE4ED; border-radius: 8px; padding: .85rem 1rem;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1.3rem; font-weight: 800; color: #f0a500; flex-shrink: 0; width: 26px;\">03<\/span>\n<div><strong style=\"font-size: .92rem; color: #003b7a; display: block; margin-bottom: .2rem;\">Per-Unit Backlash Stamp \u2014 Condition Monitoring Over Press Life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: .84rem; color: #5a6a7a; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0;\">Every EP-FAD unit is measured and stamped with its actual backlash grade at 2% rated torque before shipment. For a press builder specifying a 5-year service interval, this stamp provides the starting measurement for a backlash wear monitoring programme. Maintenance engineers can measure cylinder drive gearbox backlash at each annual service visit, compare against the nameplate starting value, and project the remaining life before the P0 threshold is approached. This is the same condition monitoring approach used for bearings (vibration baseline) and seals (IP test at service) \u2014 the nameplate stamp makes it applicable to gear wear for the first time in a standard production item.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"display: flex; gap: .8rem; align-items: flex-start; background: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #DDE4ED; border-radius: 8px; padding: .85rem 1rem;\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 1.3rem; font-weight: 800; color: #f0a500; flex-shrink: 0; width: 26px;\">04<\/span>\n<div><strong style=\"font-size: .92rem; color: #003b7a; display: block; margin-bottom: .2rem;\">IP65 Per-Unit Seal Test \u2014 Protecting Against Solvent Contamination of Gearbox Grease<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: .84rem; color: #5a6a7a; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0;\">Printing presses are cleaned with aggressive solvents \u2014 ketones, alcohols, and esters \u2014 applied under pressure during web breaks and at shift changes. A gearbox with a marginal IP seal allows solvent into the NYOGEL 792D chamber. NYOGEL 792D resists solvent degradation better than mineral oil, but sustained ingress eventually dilutes the grease film. The 60-second pneumatic pressure decay test on every EP-FAD, EP-FAB, and EP-FAL unit before shipment identifies seals with micro-gaps that would fail within the first production month. The same test that protects packaging lines from washdown failure protects press gearboxes from solvent contamination \u2014 it is the same production test, applied to every unit regardless of application.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"font-size: .97rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.78;\">These four features \u2014 DIN Class 5 wear resistance, NYOGEL 792D thermal stability, per-unit backlash stamp, and IP65 per-unit test \u2014 combine to make EP-FAD P0 the gearbox that sustains press register quality over the full service life between planned overhauls, rather than degrading progressively and requiring early intervention.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- ==================================================== SECTION 5 \u2014 SELECTION DECISION MATRIX ==================================================== --><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 3rem 5%; background: #FFFFFF;\">\n<div style=\"max-width: 1100px; margin: 0 auto;\">\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: .72rem; font-weight: bold; letter-spacing: .06em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #0070cc; display: block; margin-bottom: .4rem;\">Selection Guide<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 2rem; font-weight: bold; color: #003b7a; border-bottom: 4px solid #F0A500; padding-bottom: .45rem; margin: 0 0 1.3rem; line-height: 1.15;\">Printing Gearbox Selection Matrix \u2014 5 Questions Including Impression Volume<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size: .97rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.78; margin-bottom: 1.4rem;\">Print press gearbox selection must account for impression volume as well as initial precision \u2014 the backlash growth curve shows that the correct selection at installation may not be the same decision that minimises total cost of ownership over 5 years.

The same machines that produce EP-FAB for CNC rotary tables produce EP-FAD for offset press cylinder drives \u2014 DIN Class 5 accuracy is a production standard, not a special option.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: .97rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.78; margin-bottom: 1rem;\">The DIN Class 5 accuracy that determines EP-FAD&#8217;s long-term backlash stability comes from a single manufacturing process: 5-axis CNC profile grinding of the ring gear and planet gears to a tooth profile deviation below \u00b13 \u00b5m. This process is the same one used by European premium gear manufacturers (Neugart, Apex, Wittenstein) to achieve P0 grade. Korea Ever-Power operates 5-axis CNC profile-grinding equipment at the Ansan-si production facility \u2014 the same equipment class, producing the same tooth accuracy standard, at a unit cost 25\u201340% below the European benchmark.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: .97rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.78; margin-bottom: 1rem;\">The individual backlash measurement that underpins the nameplate stamp is conducted at 2% rated torque \u2014 a loaded measurement that captures the real effective backlash under the elastic deformation of the gear mesh at light load, not the geometric tooth clearance measured without load. This is the same measurement condition specified by European standards for P0 grade. The measurement is conducted on every unit, on every production shift, as part of the end-of-line quality check. Units measuring above the P0 threshold (&gt;1 arc-min) are either regraded (shipped as P1, labelled P1) or reprocessed \u2014 they do not ship with a P0 nameplate if they did not achieve P0 on the test bench.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: .97rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.78; margin-bottom: 1rem;\">For printing press builders comparing EP-FAD against European alternatives, the practical consequence is direct substitution: same DIN Class 5 gear accuracy, same individual backlash stamp and traceability, same NYOGEL 792D lubricant, same IP65 per-unit pressure test \u2014 at approximately 60\u201375% of the European benchmark unit cost. This cost difference compounds across a multi-unit press drive BOM (a 5-colour offset press may have 8\u201312 planetary gearboxes across all cylinders, feeders, and finishing units) to a procurement saving that exceeds the cost of qualification.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Callout --><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; gap: 1rem; align-items: flex-start; background: #E8F2FF; border: 1px solid #C0D8F8; border-radius: 10px; padding: 1.2rem 1.3rem; margin: 1.2rem 0;\">\n<div style=\"font-size: 1.5rem; flex-shrink: 0; margin-top: .1rem;\">\ud83d\udcca<\/div>\n<div>\n<div style=\"font-weight: bold; font-size: .95rem; color: #003b7a; margin-bottom: .25rem;\">Backlash Condition Monitoring Programme \u2014 Using the Nameplate Stamp<\/div>\n<div style=\"font-size: .875rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.65;\">Korea Ever-Power recommends that press builders using EP-FAD P0 for cylinder drives establish a backlash monitoring programme: <strong>(1)<\/strong> Record the nameplate-stamped starting value for each cylinder drive gearbox at installation. <strong>(2)<\/strong> Measure backlash at each annual planned maintenance stop using the press&#8217;s own servo feedback (jog to contact in both directions, record the position difference at each cylinder drive axis). <strong>(3)<\/strong> Plot measured backlash vs. cumulative impression count. <strong>(4)<\/strong> Project the rate of growth to estimate remaining life before the P0 threshold is approached.

Growth of about 0.2\u20130.3 arc-min over approximately 200 million impressions per cylinder \u2014 well within P0 spec and consistent with the growth curve we&#8217;d seen in the Korea Ever-Power data.

EP-FAD P0 uses DIN Class 5 profile-ground gears, which have tooth profile deviations within \u00b12\u20133 \u00b5m of the theoretical involute. A P1\/DIN Class 6\u20137 alternative has profile deviations of \u00b15\u20138 \u00b5m. These deviations concentrate Hertzian contact stress at local high spots on the tooth surface. Higher peak contact stress produces higher surface fatigue \u2014 the microscopic pitting that removes material from the tooth face and progressively increases tooth clearance (backlash). DIN Class 5 gears distribute contact stress evenly, producing lower peak stress and a slower fatigue rate per meshing cycle. Over 100 million cylinder drive cycles, the compound difference is: P0\/DIN5 grows from 0.8 to approximately 1.5 arc-min (still P0), while P1\/DIN6-7 grows from 2.5 to approximately 5.5 arc-min (well above P1 threshold). For a press specified to \u00b10.05 mm register, the P0\/DIN5 gearbox stays within the register budget throughout; the P1 gearbox exceeds the register budget before 25 million impressions.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border: 1px solid #DDE4ED; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: .75rem; background: #FFFFFF; overflow: hidden;\">\n<summary style=\"padding: .9rem 1.1rem; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; font-size: .92rem; color: #003b7a; list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;\">What causes warmup drift in press register, and does NYOGEL 792D actually eliminate it?<span style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #f0a500;\">\uff0b<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding: .8rem 1.1rem 1rem; font-size: .875rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.72; border-top: 1px solid #DDE4ED;\">Warmup drift in press register has multiple contributors \u2014 thermal expansion of the press frame, bearing preload changes with temperature, and lubricant viscosity change in the gear train. The gearbox lubricant viscosity contribution works as follows: mineral oil in a gearbox at 20\u00b0C (cold press) has much higher viscosity than the same oil at 60\u00b0C (warm press). Higher viscosity means thicker elastohydrodynamic film between gear teeth, which slightly increases the effective tooth clearance \u2014 the oil film contributes to the apparent backlash. As the press warms up, the oil thins, the film collapses to its thinner steady-state thickness, and the apparent backlash decreases slightly. This shows up as a register drift during the first 50\u2013150 impressions of each run. NYOGEL 792D synthetic grease has much lower viscosity sensitivity to temperature than mineral oil \u2014 its viscosity change from 20\u00b0C to 60\u00b0C is a fraction of that of mineral oil. The gearbox backlash at cold press is essentially the same as at operating temperature. This eliminates the lubricant-viscosity contribution to warmup drift. Note that warmup drift from frame thermal expansion and bearing preload change are not affected by the gearbox lubricant choice \u2014 if warmup drift persists after switching to EP-FAD with NYOGEL 792D, those other sources should be investigated.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details style=\"border: 1px solid #DDE4ED; border-radius: 8px; margin-bottom: .75rem; background: #FFFFFF; overflow: hidden;\">\n<summary style=\"padding: .9rem 1.1rem; cursor: pointer; font-weight: bold; font-size: .92rem; color: #003b7a; list-style: none; display: flex; justify-content: space-between; align-items: center;\">How do I implement a backlash condition monitoring programme using EP-FAD P0 nameplate stamps?<span style=\"font-size: 1.2rem; color: #f0a500;\">\uff0b<\/span><\/summary>\n<div style=\"padding: .8rem 1.1rem 1rem; font-size: .875rem; color: #2a3a4a; line-height: 1.72; border-top: 1px solid #DDE4ED;\">The recommended programme: (1) At installation, record the nameplate-stamped backlash value for each cylinder drive gearbox into the press maintenance log. (2) At each planned annual maintenance stop, measure backlash on each axis using the press&#8217;s own servo position feedback \u2014 jog the axis slowly to contact in the positive direction and record the position; then jog to contact in the negative direction and record the position. The difference between the two positions is the servo-measured backlash, which includes gearbox backlash plus any mechanical compliance in the drive train. The increment from the previous year&#8217;s measurement is the backlash growth during that period. (3) Plot cumulative backlash vs. cumulative impression count for each axis. Fit a linear or slightly accelerating trend line. (4) Project the trend to the P0 threshold (nameplate value + (P0 limit \u2212 nameplate value) = headroom; rate of growth = headroom \u00f7 remaining life estimate). This gives a factual, machine-specific prediction of when each cylinder drive gearbox will approach its P0 limit \u2014 allowing proactive replacement scheduling that avoids register problems in production.

At i=10:1, maximum output speed is 400 rpm at the gearbox output shaft. The connection from FALR output to the anilox roll is made through a flexible coupling or belt \u2014 the final surface speed of the anilox roll depends on the roll diameter and the overall drive ratio including any belt stage between FALR and roll. For a 400 m\/min web speed on a 200 mm diameter anilox roll, the roll rotates at 637 rpm. This requires the FALR output shaft to run at 637 rpm (if direct-coupled) or faster (if there is a belt overdrive between FALR and roll). At 637 rpm output and i=10:1, input speed = 6,370 rpm \u2014 above the FALR 4,000 rpm limit. For high-speed flexo at 400 m\/min, specify a higher ratio (e.g., i=20:1 gives 637 rpm output at 12,740 rpm input \u2014 still too fast) or use a belt stage between FALR and roll to reduce the FALR output speed.
