ZS – Cyclo Line Single stage Cyclo rotation gearbox ZS – Cyclo Line. The compact and high-capacity centrifuge drive in a flange design and all-steel construction. The eccentric gearbox, based on two or three cycloid discs, allows high reduction ratios of up to 87:1 in a single stage. This allows for a very compact and short design. High reserves in the event of overload and few moving parts are the basis for this rugged and efficient input. The high efficiency is based on the pure roll-off movement on the cycloid disks and low splashing losses, which result from the small internal movements of...
