TZS Cyclo Gearboxes for Centrifuges
Transcyko TZS cyclo gearboxes for centrifuges offer compact, high torque, reliable options for new and upgraded centrifuge applications of all types. Cross compatibility with Sumitomo ZS centrifugal drives and service parts enables direct drop-in replacement to upgrade or repair existing centrifuge installations.
What are the advantages of TZS cyclo drives for centrifuges?
Cycloidal gearing is epicyclic, with gears rotating around each other inside the casing to achieve speed reduction. This makes cyclo drives very compact, in a short, robust, format that has several advantages for centrifuges, including easy vertical mounting and reduced vibration at high speeds.
Cyclo gears operate constantly in compression and not in shear, sharing the load across a much larger surface area than inline gearboxes, both reducing wear and increasing resistance to shock loadings.
The transmission of power from the comparatively large contact areas of the outer cycloidal gears to the central eccentric shaft means that normal wear affects the smaller, central components first, which are easily removed for maintenance or replacement at a lower cost than the larger wear components of equivalent non-cycloidal gearboxes.
What are the options for cyclo gearboxes for centrifuges?
At Transcyko we manufacture cyclo drives and gearboxes to extremely high production values. This is why, in 2025, Transcyko is a leading global supplier of high quality cyclo gearbox options and cycloidal speed reducers for centrifuges.
For high quality cyclo gearboxes for centrifuges, you have a sensible choice between Transcyko, Sumitomo and other leading brands for new installations, renewal or upgrades. However, as a specialist manufacturer with extensive experience in design and manufacturing of cyclo products Transcyko delivers high quality at realistic prices.
Transcyko ZS Cyclo Gearbox Compatibility With Other Brands
Our decades of experience in satisfying customer demands for efficient, effective solutions to their speed reducer and gearbox requirements are clearly visible when you look at how we design our TZS cyclo gearboxes.
We design cyclo gearboxes for centrifuges with form factors, ratios and features that maximize interoperability and backwards compatibility with a very wide range of leading gearbox and speed reducer brands, including parts, servicing and maintenance cross-compatibility.
Examples of Transcyko ZS Cyclo gearbox compatibility
- Andritz D3, D4 & D5 decanter / sludge / dewatering centrifuges
- All Sumitomo ZS series cyclo centrifuge applications
- GEA centrifuges & separation equipment
We know that our customers want reliable centrifuge gearboxes that are seamlessly compatible with a very wide range of machinery installations without the need for costly customization, retooling or modification of existing lines and processes.
What are the main features of Transcyko ZS cyclo gearboxes for centrifuges?
Transcyko TZS cyclo gearboxes are compact designs with increased gearbox strength and fewer moving parts. Our TZS series cyclo drives can sustain output torques in a range of 30-40,000Nm as standard with extreme shock resistance to momentary loads and are manufactured from high quality materials with excellent quality control and testing.
- High single-stage reduction ratios
- Extreme shock loading resistance
- Capable of high output torque
- Strong, reliable, low noise, low wear designs
Our in-house design team can build drives with higher torque capabilities to meet any customer requirement. Our ZS cyclo gearboxes are designed to achieve single stage reduction ratios from 6:1 to 87:1. This makes them suitable for both low speed and very high speed applications in a single step without the need for additional stages.
What are common TZS cyclo centrifuge applications in 2025?
Transcyko is a vertically integrated cyclo gearbox manufacturer. We manage and verify all stages of design and production, and can manufacture centrifuge gearboxes for any purpose across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.
- Chemical manufacturing
- Beverage manufacturing & sediment removal
- Food oil refining, including olive oil manufacturing
- Marine industrial & seawater separation
- Dairy products including cheese manufacturing
- Food & nutritional supplements
- Oil & gas fractions, oil & solids separation & dewatering
- Pharmaceutical refining & compound separation
- Environmental technology
- Industrial & biological waste water treatment & sludge removal
- Mining, mineral extraction & mineral refining
Transcyko ZS drives are easily sealed, making them an excellent choice for food-grade, chemical and pharmaceutical businesses where lubricant contamination and leaks can cause serious problems.
Transcyko manufactures ZS cycloidal gearboxes to the highest quality standards
Transcyko quality processes include advanced CMM alongside manual and automated inspection. We have the benefit of reliable, established supply chains for very high quality alloys and fabrication materials due to our long partnerships with the best material suppliers in Taiwan as well as global material specialists.
What are 4 advantages of Transcyko ZS cyclo gearboxes for centrifuges?
- Very high tolerance for momentary shock loading
- Long life, extended maintenance design
- Sealed for harsh operating environments
- Drop-in replacement for other leading brands
Transcyko TZS cyclo gearboxes for centrifuges are designed for intermittent shock loadings of 500% of standard load ratings. This is considerably better than planetary gearboxes, which are commonly rated to withstand 300% momentary overloads.
The compact form factor of TZS cyclo centrifuge gearboxes and design compatibility with the Sumitomo ZS cyclo series makes it easy to upgrade or repair existing centrifuges without costly redesign and reconfiguration of existing machinery and production lines.
