CHARACTERISTICS AND OVERVIEW OF KNOWLEDGE OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN THE PRODUCTION OF HARMONIC GEARBOX

Abstract

The range of applications for drives and gears stretches over numerous technological fields. The gearbox is found in every mechanical machine and represents only one small but important sub-application. Industry as a whole has a constant demand for new individual solutions tailored to solve particular problems. But again and again, it is called upon to find new ways of transmitting movements that a particular component is required to conduct so as to attain a particular result. Harmonic drive products are unique precision speed reducers playing important roles in robots, semiconductor manufacturing systems, factory automation equipment and furthermore, in aerospace equipment. The greatest benefits are the zero-backlash characteristics and the weight and space savings compared to other gears because our gear mechanism consists of only three basic parts. They are the: Wave Generator, Flexspline and Circular Spline.
