Sumitomo offers drive solutions for all industries

Our world would be very different without automation and robotic applications. Wherever there is a need to move something be it mechanically, automatically or by machine there is a need for a drive. Differing duty requirements dictate that a drive must have a number of performance characteristics to meet the application. At the drive specialists, Sumitomo Drive Technologies, the range of high precision gear drives allow solutions for the smallest of installation spaces to high torque drives for large systems. The requirements can however be particularly demanding and diverse in the field of factory automation and robotics. Sumitomo offers solutions for each and every application with its versatile (Fine Cyclo) zero backlash precision gear drive units.

In factory automation the demanding requirements can cover exact positioning in pick & place robots and positioning tables, as well as precise movements in welding robots and machine tools. Storage technology on the other hand requires the ability to carry high loads and to sometimes achieve high speeds. Rotating systems can conversely have a high inertia requirement in applications like painting robots and work transfer robots where high repeatability is required.

The backlash free Fine Cyclo precision gears from Sumitomo are versatile and meet all these requirements to the highest degree. They are cost effective, virtually maintenance free and, due to their special design, are also available without main bearings allowing integration into the final machine. The Series A Fine Cyclo range is available in six sizes with exact gear ratios of 29, 59, 89, 119 & 179.
