At Sumitomo Drive Technologies, quality is built into our products

As the inventor of cycloidal gears, you’ll be sure to find the perfect solution for your application among our broad range of tried-and-tested models and product series – spanning traditional gearmotors like the Cyclo Drive 6000, robust and versatile products such as the Altax® reducer and the mechanically backlash-free motion control gears in the Fine Cyclo® series.

Our gears and gearmotors rise to every challenge and achieve high torques, input speeds and reduction ratios depending on the series. Our products are either foot-mounted or flange-mounted in the case of gearmotors or are designed with a solid or hollow shaft in the Fine Cyclo series.

Whatever your scenario – Sumitomo gears embody carefully considered technology and outstanding manufacturing quality. Many models are entirely maintenance-free, fully sealed and quick and easy to install. We’d be more than happy to advise you.

Areas of application for cycloidal gears

Cycloidal gears come into play in a wide range of industries: whether installed as compact and robust standard gears in machines and systems to create an all-round solution or in the form of highly specialised designs for specific scenarios. They’re also used as backlash-free motion control gears in the fields of robotics, machine tools and medical technology. Cycloidal technology is also ideal for decanter and centrifuge drive applications. Last but not least, cycloidal gears can be integrated into driverless transport systems and autonomous mobile robots in the fields of intralogistics and production.

So, as you can see, cycloidal gears are extremely versatile, customised products that are tailored to the application in hand. We offer a vast array of solutions to meet your specific requirements – so come and explore our product portfolio and use our online configurator to create the right drive for you in just a few clicks.

Modular system
cost-effective, straightforward and readily available

Our modular cycloidal gears are just the thing if you need a gear that offers direct motor attachment. The modular system has the advantage of being tailored to all standard servo motors produced by well-known motor manufacturers. What’s more, its carefully considered design means that it’s quick to deliver straight from the shelf.
