Inline Gear Motor –
Cyclo‘s unique epicycloid design has advantages superior to speed reducers that use common involute tooth gears. Cyclo components operate in compression, not in shear. Unlike gear teeth with limited contact points, a Cyclo has two-thirds of its reduction components in contact at all times. This design enables Cyclo speed reducers and gear motors to withstand shock loads exceeding 500% of their ratings, and provide exceptional performance, reliability and long life in the most severe applications.

Right Angle Gear Motor
Right Angle Spiral Bevel Speed Reducers with Cyclo® or Planetary Reducer Inputs
The all new Cyclo® Bevel Buddy box 4 & 5 Series (Cyclo® BBB) is a highly efficient, state of the art, compact series of speed reducers and gear motors. Optimized for shaft mounted applications and easy maintenance, the Cyclo® BBB exterior dimensions have been minimized without compromising the ability to transmit torque. The all-steel internal construction, Cyclo® or planetary gear input, and space-saving housing design, make this product unmatched in reliability, efficiency and durability.
