Wyko to support Sumitomo 'Food Safe' geared drives
Wyko Industrial Services is providing sales and support for Sumitomo
Cyclo's 'Food Safe' geared drives range, including the Cyclo 6000 Hygiene
Plus and the Hyponic Hygiene Plus models. Fully MAF and FDA compliant for
applications in food processing plants, these units offer compact and
highly efficient in-line or right-angle speed reduction.
The 6000 series (pictured) incorporates Cyclo's novel epicycloidal gear
design, which operates in compression, with numerous contact points
distributing shock loads over two-thirds of the teeth. The drive can thus
take shock loads of up to 500% without compromising performance.
The Hyponic series features Cyclo's Neo Hyponic gear technology, an
all-steel hypoidal gear design offering 90% efficiency across all gear
ratios. Both models provide a wide speed reduction range from 5:1 to
1,440:1.
