You can purchase genuine Sumitomo drive systems and related components at competitive prices from our company. As a long-term partner with Sumitomo Drive Technologies, we have the advantage of supplying original units and parts with minimal markup for worldwide delivery. We can also assist with the selection, sizing, and maintenance of these critical systems. A personal manager will explain the step-by-step process for purchasing a Sumitomo drive system.

A Sumitomo drive system is a complete, engineered power transmission solution that integrates a gear reducer, motor, and sometimes controls and other accessories into a single package. This approach provides a streamlined, highly efficient, and reliable solution, eliminating the need for separate sourcing and ensuring all components are perfectly matched for optimal performance. Sumitomo Drive Technologies is a global leader, with their drive systems used in the most demanding industrial environments.


 

Sumitomo Drive System Categories

 

Sumitomo offers a diverse portfolio of drive systems, each designed for specific performance requirements and applications. Their main categories include:

  • Standard Industrial Drive Systems: These systems combine a motor with a standard gear reducer, such as their helical, worm, or planetary gearboxes. They are versatile, modular solutions for a wide range of applications from conveyors to mixers.
  • Heavy-Duty and Special Industrial Drive Systems: For large-scale and severe-duty applications in industries like mining, cement, and steel, Sumitomo offers specialized drive systems. These can include large-scale planetary gearboxes like the Paramax® 9000 series, which are custom-engineered to handle immense torque and shock loads.
  • Precision and Motion Control Drive Systems: For applications requiring high-precision positioning and dynamic control, such as in robotics and factory automation, Sumitomo provides drive systems that combine their high-performance motors with low-backlash gearboxes. These are often integrated with their Fine Cyclo® or E-Cyclo series, which feature zero or very low backlash for highly accurate motion.
  • Specialty Drive Systems: Sumitomo also engineers drive systems for unique applications, such as their Paramax® SFC for cooling towers or their Cyclo® drives for centrifuges and overhead conveyors. These are pre-engineered for specific environments and operating conditions.

 

Key Features

 

Sumitomo drive systems are highly valued for the following characteristics:

  • Integrated High Performance: By providing a complete, single-source solution, Sumitomo ensures that the motor, gearbox, and all accessories are perfectly matched for the required torque, speed, and efficiency, simplifying the design process and guaranteeing reliability.
  • Exceptional Durability: Many of Sumitomo’s drive systems, especially those featuring the Cyclo® or Smartsyn® technologies, are built to withstand extreme shock loads and harsh environments, which minimizes downtime and maintenance.
  • High Efficiency: Sumitomo’s designs, particularly their Cyclo® and hypoid gear systems, are highly efficient, which reduces energy consumption and lowers operational costs over the life of the system.
  • Scalability and Customization: Sumitomo’s modular approach allows for a wide range of configurations, mounting options, and motor types (e.g., washdown duty, explosion-proof, or for use with a variable frequency drive), ensuring that a system can be tailored to meet the specific requirements of any project.
