Product catalog summary
Product Overview
Sumitomo's Fine Cyclo Precision Gears are engineered for high precision applications in robotics, machine tools, and automation. These gears offer zero backlash speed reduction, high torsional stiffness, and compact design, making them cost-effective solutions for demanding environments.
Features & Benefits
  • FA-Series: Designed for point-to-point applications with a Cyclo system featuring three discs and a single eccentric, available in four mounting versions.
  • FT-Series: Suitable for smooth traverse applications, offering high transmission accuracy with minimal speed ripple and vibration.
  • Key benefits include no mechanical backlash, low hysteresis loss, high shock load capacity, and easy mounting with motor fitting.
  • Long lifetime with grease lubrication and short delivery times.
The Cyclo Principle
The Cyclo gearbox operates with four main components: a high-speed shaft with eccentric bearing, cycloid discs, a ring gear housing with pins and rollers, and a slow-speed shaft or flange with pins and rollers. This design ensures smooth torque transmission.
Reduction Ratio Calculation
The reduction ratio is determined by the number of cycloid teeth on the disc, with at least one less tooth than rollers in the ring gear housing, resulting in a ratio equal to the number of teeth on the cycloid disc.
FA Series Versions
  • FC-A Version: Standard reduction assembly without bearing support, available in six sizes with reduction ratios of 29 to 179 and output torque up to 5,140 Nm.
  • F1C-A Version: Includes output flange and single crossed roller bearing, with similar specifications as FC-A.
  • F2C-A Version: Features output flange and integrated taper roller bearings, offering smaller dimensions and high moment ratings.
  • F3C-A Version: Provides high torsional stiffness with output shaft, housing, and taper roller bearings.
Key Advantages
  • Zero backlash and reduced lost motion with high stiffness and low vibrations.
  • Low mass moment of inertia for quick response to acceleration and deceleration.
  • Compact design with high output torque and overload capacity.
  • High reduction ratio achievable in a single-stage reducer.
Specifications and Features
The FINE CYCLO gearbox series offers zero mechanical backlash, low lost motion, high torsional stiffness, and high uniformity due to symmetrical load distribution. They are compact with low inertia, allowing dynamic performance and high output torque with overload reserves.
Efficiency and Weight
These gearboxes are highly efficient due to precise manufacturing and rolling action. They are lightweight, with models like the FC-A 15 G weighing only 2.7 kg while supporting up to 335 Nm of torque.
Assembly and Maintenance
Pre-greased and ready for operation, these gearboxes require minimal maintenance. Motor mounting needs an adapter, and specific installation tolerances must be observed.
Performance and Load Capacity
The CYCLO system can handle shock loads up to 500% of the rated torque. Detailed torque ratings and allowable input speeds are provided for various models.
Installation and Operational Guidelines
Instructions for mounting, painting, and disassembly are provided, with a recommendation against unauthorized disassembly to maintain warranty and performance guarantees.
Technical Data and Tables
Tables provide detailed technical data, including torque ratings, input speeds, and service factors, essential for selecting the appropriate gearbox model.
Specifications and Load Calculations
Detailed specifications for the Fine Cyclo FA series focus on allowable loads for high-speed shafts, with formulas for calculating radial and axial loads.
Load Conditions and Factors
Load conditions are categorized into uniform load, moderate shocks, and heavy shocks, with service factors ranging from 1 to 1.6.
Torque and Stiffness
Details on rated torque at an average input speed of 1500 min-1, torsional stiffness, and moment of inertia values are provided.
Dimensions and Assembly
Dimensions for various models and guidelines for assembly tolerances are outlined, emphasizing the importance of maintaining certain dimensions for correct clearance.
Graphical Data
Graph 13 illustrates average data of running torque under no-load conditions, covering sizes 15 to 75 and reduction ratios of 29, 59, 89, and 119.
Additional Notes
Notes on motor adaptors, design solutions for keyless motor shaft combinations, and recommendations for high precision applications are included.
Assembly Tolerances
Assembly tolerances for the Fine Cyclo FC-A series focus on the connection between the ring gear housing and the customer's housing using bolts.
Torque and Fastening
The allowable transmitted torque is limited by the mounting bolts, with recommendations for bolt grade, quantity, size, and tightening torques provided.
Specifications and Dimensions
Detailed specifications for the Fine Cyclo FC-A series, including rated output torque and reduction ratios, are provided.
Cross Roller Bearing Specifications
Loading and lifetime of the special cross roller bearing are determined by axial and radial loads, mean bearing diameter, and equivalent dynamic bearing load.
Service and Load Correction Factors
Tables for service factors and load correction factors are essential for calculating the equivalent dynamic bearing load.
Overview of F2C-T Series
The Fine Cyclo - F2C-T series is a high-performance speed reducer with details on torque ratings, reduction ratios, and mechanical design.
Specifications
The F2C-T series features a new tooth profile supported by integrated taper roller bearings, offering various reduction ratios.
Operating Principle
The FT series combines simple involute gearing, internal epitrochoid planetary gearing, and constant speed internal gearing.
Selection Procedure
A step-by-step selection process for determining the appropriate size and configuration of the speed reducer is outlined.
Torque Ratings and Load Capacities
Tables provide detailed torque ratings for different sizes and configurations.
Efficiency and Vibration Characteristics
Efficiency is influenced by output speed, load, temperature, and size, with efficiency curves and vibration test results included.
Conclusion
The Fine Cyclo - F2C-T series is designed for high performance with integrated features that enhance durability and efficiency.

FINE CYCLO 4 The rotation of the cycloid discs is transmitted to the slow speed shaft via the pins and rollers projecting through holes in the cycloid discs. The pins of the slow speed shaft and sometimes the pins of the ring gear, too are equipped with rollers so that the torque transmitting parts of the CYCLO gearbox roll smoothly. Die reduzierte Drehbewegung der Kurvenscheiben wird über Bolzen, die in die Bohrungen der Kurvenscheiben eingreifen, auf die Abtriebswelle übertragen.
