Study on the Structure of the Flexspline of Harmonic Reducer

Abstract

According to the flexible gears damage problem during the work process of the harmonic reducer, a FEM model of the flexible and wave generator was established. On the basis of the mechanics of materials and the finite element theory, a large number of numerical simulations by the use of the finite element software were made. The analysis shows that: the dangerous area is between the flexspline tooth rim and cylinder part. On this basis, the equivalent strain and equivalent stress at different transition fillet were discussed by the use of numerical simulation. The results show that: the equivalent strain and equivalent stress are decrease with the increase of the transition fillet. It provides a basis theory of the optimization design of the flexspline.
