Sincroll Drive Technologies
We are developing an innovative gear technology where we use balls rolling without friction as coupling elements to save energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions in the entire machines industry for practically every machine that moves.
OUR PITCH
Problem
Practically every moving machine uses gears [AKA gearboxes, drives, transmissions, actuators etc] and practically all gears lose energy through friction – such as that in tooth gears due to the sliding of the teeth on one another. This loss of energy is a waste of money as it increases operational costs, electricity bills, fuel costs etc and it also results in unnecessary emission of CO2. The gear industry is gigantic, gears are all around us, and therefore the amount of wasted money and CO2 emission are gigantic too. We are targeting to save many hundreds of billions of dollars in energy and fuel costs and many hundreds of millions of tons of CO2 emission every year. Through the reduction of CO2 emission of this magnitude we want to take our part in the fight against climate change.

Solution & Innovation
We are developing an innovative gear technology where we use balls rolling without friction as coupling elements to save energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions in the entire machines industry for practically every machine that moves. This ball-coupling mechanism is fundamentally different from the current state of the art and it changes the game in the entire 500 years old, massively established, mature and obsolete gear industry. Our technology offers a number of unique advantages. For example, besides massively improving energy efficiency resulting in savings in energy costs and CO2 emissions, it also has the capabilities for high gearing ratios (small size and low weight), no backlash (low noise and long life) and backdrivability (force feedback and haptic movement in robots), also less lubrication use (clean and low-cost) and higher flexibility in design (optimisablity).

Business Model
We are selling our IP, know-how and engineering services, making money already and growing. Later, we will start production and sales of gear products for gear users directly. Our target market is gigantic of about $ 200 billion in size as our technology is applicable in all vehicles: land, air, sea and space, robotics, precision and medical equipment, heavy, construction and mining machinery, industrial machines etc – the entire spectrum from tiny wrist watches to massive wind turbines. We sold 1 license and 8 gear solutions to customers so far, made over 60 design studies on customer request and built up a customer base of 1300 companies in 10 industries and 10 countries. We obtained patents in 15 countries, won 350 thousand euros in grants and won 17 innovation awards in China, Germany, Hungary, UK and the EU.
