Speed reducer eliminates coupling or chain drive
Designed to be shaft mounted directly on a machine shaft, and restrained with the use of a torque arm or flange, this speed reducer eliminates the usual additional coupling or chain drive.
Sumitomo's NEO Hyponic drive provides higher reduction ratios than conventional bevel, and bevel-helical geared motors.
This allows for greater efficiency throughout the complete range of ratios, which range from 5/1 to 1,440/1.
Thanks to larger contact intervals, compared to more traditional bevel based gears, the new NEO Hyponic drive provides a greater transmission capacity, resulting in a silent, smooth and vibrationless operation.

Sumitomo is about to launch the new NEO Hyponic geared motor, and this background article describes the new light weight and compact design more fully.
Innovations in power transmissions to be revealed
A power transmissions manufacturer promises to enter 'New Frontiers' during this year's Hannover Messe, breaking new ground with the help of an 'all action' global domination theme.
Light duty geared motors are quiet and rugged
Sspecifically engineered for lighter duty applications, fractional powered geared motors and controllers feature rugged construction and quiet operation.
Constructed from molybdenum steel and additionally treated with case hardening, the new NEO Hyponic stands up to the ever increasing loads in today's demanding applications.
Integration of the motor shaft and the hypoid pinion, coupled with an aluminium alloy casing, creates a lighter, more compact drive solution (on average a 30% weight reduction compared with conventional models).
The shaft mounted new NEO Hyponic, has been developed to offer interchangeability with all the major European manufacturers products.
The long life grease, allows uninterrupted operation without the need to change the grease at regular intervals.
Installation is available at any desired angle, and is grease filled for life, making it ideal for remote/awkwardly located applications.
The new NEO Hyponic drive, is available in a large variety of motors and ratios, with increased combinations and mounting options available.
Standard stock options, include 'bolt-on' feet, 'plug-in' solid output shafts, torque arms, output mounting flanges and safety covers.
It complies with all international standards for both indoor and outdoor use (UL, CE marked) with special explosion proof designs, and a one touch brake release, with other specifications available on request.
All motor designs are available, including single phase as well as three phase.
Typical applications include: conveyor lines in breweries, driving trucks, crushers, dehydrators, wood shaving machines, swarf conveyors, baggage handling and sorting equipment.
Meeting the strict criteria outlined in most of today's food processing plants, Sumitomo have listened to requests, and have developed a product that complies with these arduous standards.
This product as standard, will be assembled with the following: * Maintenance Free for life using MAF and FDA approved fluids.
* Finish painted with a two pack water thinned epoxy coating, white in colour, resistant to most chemicals and solvents, and inhibits the growth of bacteria and fungi.
* All exterior fasteners are manufactured in stainless steel materials.
In additional Sumitomo offer these geared motors with the following options: * Motors to IP56 - 'temporary flood proof', suitable for use in high powered hose applications.
* Motors to IP65 - for protection against the ingress of dust particles, normally associated with bakeries and flour mills.
* Harting connectors - for ease of connection, to aid the installation, in most multi-skilled food production sites.
* Simple Installation - Direct installation using hollow bore shaft option (with torque arm) eliminates the need for sprockets, chains, vee belts, and other coupling equipment.
The drive can also bolt direct onto the structure via the case design.
Sumitomo's UK Sales Manager, Allan Findlow, is enthusiastic about the new NEO Hyponic, and very optimistic concerning its potential impact in a competitive European market.
"The new NEO Hyponic is an extremely strong product, and has already been established in the Asian and American markets.
"This coupled with the new options and standards available in the UK, should see us make in roads into this ever increasing market sector.
"Our excellent sales network throughout the UK and Europe, makes me confident that this new addition to our product portfolio will offer an even more cost effective, high quality solution to cater for all our customers application needs, locally.".
