The new design increases the helix angle to 14°, which the company says engages more gear teeth, and has a 25° gear pressure angle that helps protect the teeth, according to the company.
Twenty-six standard sizes are available. All include a direct motor mount arrangement for right-angle and parallel-offset units to help remove the need for couplings or alignment.
A two-year warranty is offered as standard.
Sumitomo gears are distributed in the UK by SM-Cyclo UK. In February, Sumitomo appointed Thomas Mueller as general manager of Sumitomo (SHI) Cyclo Drive Germany, GmbH and its European subsidiaries.
