Sumitomo Machinery Corp. of America Zero Backlash Speed Reducer Cyclo®

Features zero backlash, minimal lost motion and high torsional stiffness. These reducers excel in applications that demand accurate positioning, such as industrial robotics and automated production equipment.

• High shock load capacity
• Compact size and high torsional stiffness
• Small hysteresis loss
• High efficiencies and low vibration
• Multiple configurations for application flexibility

Cyclo's unique epicycloidal design has advantages superior to speed reducers using common involute tooth gears. Cyclo components operate in compression, not in shear. Unlike gear teeth with limited contact points, a Cyclo has two-thirds of its reduction components in contact at all times. This design enables Cyclo speed reducers and gearmotors to withstand shock loads exceeding 500% of their ratings, and provide exceptional performance, reliability and long life in the most severe applications.

• Premier in-line drives as both a reducer and gearmotor
• Quiet, efficient and reliable operation with high torque density and compact sizes
• Interchangeable cast iron housings in foot, flanged or face mount configurations
• Available free-shaft, quill hollow shaft, C-face, shovel base, and top-mount inputs
• Mininimal vibration, low noise, low backlash and extended operational life
• The best product warranty with 24 months backs up the superb Cyclo product reputation

The Sumitomo Cyclo Overhead Conveyor Drive is unsurpassed by any other inline drive available in the market today.

The Cyclo Overhead Conveyor Drive is an excellent choice for the food industry, but can also be used for more general applications such as automotive, tire manufacturing, and warehousing conveyor systems. Additionally, the Sumitomo Cyclo Overhead Conveyor Drive is drop-in ready for DVX and European standard footprints in both inline and right-angle configurations.

The inline, vertical drive utilizes Cyclo's unique epicycloidal design and has advantages superior to speed reducers using common involute tooth gears.
