What are the three important uses of cycloidal gearboxes in the aviation industry?
Why are cyclo speed reducers & cycloidal gearboxes used for passenger boarding bridges?
What are the advantages of cyclo speed reducers & cycloidal gearboxes for airport conveyor systems?
Why are Transcyko cycloidal gearboxes the best choice for passenger boarding bridges and conveyor systems?
At Transcyko we manufacture reliable, efficient cyclo speed reducers and cycloidal gearboxes. Our research innovation and product development is driven by matching our products to the demands of our customers, and this is why our global customers rely on our products to safeguard their mission-critical business needs.
Why are cycloidal gearboxes and cyclo speed reducers used for mission-critical airport systems?
- Cycloidal gearboxes offer high precision and are able to withstand the high torque demands of rapid stop-start operation.
- Servo cyclo speed reducers and derivatives guarantee very high precision operation where backlash and unwanted movement are not acceptable.
Transcyko cycloid gearboxes feature high precision, high power capabilities in a compact size, with low maintenance overheads. These features solve several common problems in airport management. Cyclo derivates and reducers and cyclo drives offer a single, reliable, dependable solution that works for passenger boarding bridges as well as high torque, high volume conveyor systems.
The design of cyclo gearboxes offers very low backlash and high torque resistance compared to other types of gearboxes. This makes cycloidal gearboxes very well suited to rapid stop-start control that enables precise movement of passenger boarding bridges and baggage handling systems – without potentially damaging the gearbox, aircraft or cargo!
What are other desirable features of cyclo speed reducers and cycloidal gearboxes?
With unbeatable reliability compared to any other speed reduction technology, the cycloid gearbox is perfectly suited for airport systems. There are many other benefits that come with Transcyko cyclo speed reducers and cycloidal gearboxes, however.
- Flexible mounting options
- Easy to seal against the environment
- Compact designs
- Interchangeable with other leading cyclo brands
When we consider all the benefits, it makes sense that the cycloid gearbox is the 2023 choice for high performance, reliable, airport conveyor systems and passenger boarding bridges. Now that the aviation industry is recovering from the impacts of the Covid pandemic, a worry-free option for your conveyor systems and passenger boarding bridges can contribute to rebuilding business as usual.
How can you specify a cycloidal gearbox for airport conveyors and passenger boarding bridges?
To decide on the correct cycloidal gearbox for airport conveyors and passenger boarding bridges you need to specify motor horsepower and output shaft torque. Cycloidal gearboxes are highly efficient and rugged, so you will often find you can achieve your output requirements with less power than you would need with a non-cyclo speed reducer or gearbox.
How do I specify a cycloidal gearbox for a passenger boarding bridge or conveyor?
What are AGMA service classes for cycloidal gearboxes used in airports?
AGMA Service Classifications for gearmotors are used to determine the appropriate construction of a gearbox for different levels of shock loading and duty cycles per day. The AGMA classifiers are uniform (I), moderate shock loading (II), and heavy shock loading (III).
Your speed reducer or gearbox must meet the AGMA Class requirement for the expected use or there is a risk of sudden failure due to overloading. Cyclo gearboxes rarely fail because they share load across multiple components, but sudden failure is a common problem with linear and planetary gearboxes that are not correctly specified.
In airport passenger boarding bridges where precision and rapid stop-start capabilities are essential, will be AGMA Service Class II or AGMA Service Class III if built for large aircraft or capable of moving at high speeds. Many continuous low-load conveyors are AGMA Service Class I, but Service Class II is better for rapid stop-start use.
The 7 standard features of Transcyko cycloid gearboxes
- Resist shock loading of up to 500% of gearbox rating
