Cycloidal Technology by Sumitomo Drive Technologies

Sumitomo Cyclo gears work by sharing the load across its reducer components. This makes them more compact, durable and precise than conventional cog gears.

Cyclo gears provide high reduction ratios in a single stage, often ranging from 30:1 to over 100:1, and even higher in multi-stage configurations.

Sumitomo Cyclo gears outperform conventional gears. Due to their rolling motion, cycloidal gears have a significant advantage over cogwheel gears. Today, they’re considered a proven solution that should be favoured over other gear types in a number of scenarios – for good reason.

As the inventor of cycloidal gears, we provide a broad range of tried and tested products - spanning traditional gearmotors like the Cyclo Drive 6000, robust and versatile products such as the Cyclo Drive 6000 reducer and the mechanically backlash-free precision gears in the Fine Cyclo® series.
