This paper examines the selection process, operation, maintenance practices, and state of a Sumitomo gearbox
after over 24 years of operation. It is demonstrated that a quality product and careful consideration of all
these factors are essential for a longer service life of the gearbox. Detailed information is provided on the
operation of the gearbox, as well as the maintenance practices that should be taken to ensure its
longevity. Finally, the paper examines the state of the gearbox after over two decades of use and how all
these factors result in lowering carbon emissions.
Sports fans want to see every little detail, and the TV cameras deliver whether the goalie is clenching his jaw before the spot kick or how many millimeters the serve cleared the net in a tennis match, everything is captured in detail.

Many major tournaments and Olympic Games use miniature devices, which even fit in a corner flag, from the Wiesbaden-based specialist LMP Lux Media Plan. Drive units from Faulhaber are used to adjust the shutter and focus.
