BEIER CYCLOFEATURES
Power Transmission Through
Viscous Drag
Power is transmitted through viscous drag or the tractive
force of the oil fim between the discs at the point of
contact, not through friction between the cone and flange
iscs. The cone disos are relatively thin; thus the radius
of curvature is great. This minimizes the contact
pressure, Accordingly, at the points of contact, an ideal
‘boundary lubrication nearing fluid film friction is obtained,
‘Transmission Through Oil Film
wat

Overload Resistance
Excellent overload resistance due to the high multiplicity,
cof contact points.
contact is avoided by maintaining a constant oil
film between the discs, thus minimizing wear of the discs.
This unique design results in long life and low
maintenance costs. There is virtually no wear, and no
‘grooving or fretting corrosion,
Ratings
‘The ratings are based on 24-hour daily service under
uniform or low fluctuating load conditions. Service
factors above 1.0 are required only for heavy load
conditions.
Speed Adjustment
Speeds are infinitaly adjustable within the 33:1, 4:1, or
10:1 speed ranges, depending on the model. Settings
remain stable, even over long periods of time. There is
‘NO need to run the Baier through the entire speed range
aily as with belt drives.
Minimum Vibration
‘The rotational parts, including the dises, are complotoly,
symmettized, and the moment of inenia is low. This
assures almost vibrationless operation.
Concentric Shafts Arrangement
‘The concentric shafts arrangement enables easy
installation and handling.
Capacity
Highest load capacity of any mechanical drive:
200 HP.
Space-Saving Compactness
The power transmitting cection is composed of thin
metallic discs. This feature provides compactness,
while transmitting high torque. The Beier takes no
more space than an ordinary mechanical speod.

Washdown ModificationsBENEFITS
‘The Beier Variator is an adjustable speed traction drive
‘whose design and method of speed variation is truly
unique among mechanical drives available today. Power
is transmitted through the viscous friction of an oil film
that separates multiple thin metal discs. Variations in the
depth of engagement between the driver and driven
discs provide the means of adjusting speed.
Sumitomo has applied their extensive experience in the
design and development of high-quality Gyclo speed
reducers to the manutacture of he Beier Variator. The
use of special bearing steels, through-hardened and
machined to exacting dimensional tolerances,
common to both products. The ultra-compact,
combination of a Beier Vatiator and a Cyclo Reducer
results in a Beier-Cyclo Veriator that provides not only
an adjustable speed range, but extremely low output
speeds as well. Both units enjoy outstanding reputations,
where severe working conditions prevail, and in
applications that cannot tolerate breakdowns,
High Efficiency
Efficiency of the Beier Variator approaches 90%. High
efficiencies are maintained even when combined with
Cyclo Speed Reducers, due to inherent elficiency
advantages of Cyclo.
Heavy Load Capacity
The contact pressure is relatively low, since power
transmission is evenly distributed over many contact
points. This results in excellont shock load resistance.
The Beier can withstand momentary shock or heavy
overload and siil not break ihe oil fm that prevents
moiallic contact. It has the highest load capacty of any
mechanical drive—200 HP.
Durability
Virtually no wear and no grooving or fretting corrosion,
as exhibited by batt drives.
Versatility
Wide product range covered by standard models and
applied products that will meet diversified customer
requirements.
Excellent Power Density
Typical motorized Beier Cyclo compared to belt drive. Both
units are (aentcal in HP capacity and tial output speeds,
