Textile
In the textile industry gears are used in various applications along the whole manufacturing process. From vegetable, animal, mineral fibers or man-made textile products such as webs, fabrics, felts, nonwovens, stitch-bonded fabrics and knitted fabrics are produced, which are then further processed. During the processing of the raw materials before the yarn manufacturing powerful geared motors must be used in sealed version, since the ambient air is heavy with dust and lint.
Fast, reliable and precise solutions
The textile industry features an environment filled with dust, lint and particulate in the ambient air. These environmental factors make enclosed gearboxes and non-ventilated motors a requirement to maintain an operation. An optimal solution for dusty environments, the enclosed Sumitomo Cyclo 6000 gearmotors can be found in various applications, ranging from the processing of raw materials to the production of natural and synthetic fibers into yarn.

"As far as we have been able to determine, there are no other directly coupled schemes for accomplishing this fine control of yarn so conveniently, so economically, and so reliably."
"We need high precision in maintaining speed relationships between critical machine components. The speed relationships are locked by gear ratios . But we must be able to vary the speed of the winder independently and with sufficient precision to give us fine control of package density and of yarn tension. Sumitomo does this so conveniently, economically and reliably."
