Harmonic Drive Strain Wave Gear: Functional Principle | The Original

Harmonic Drive® Strain Wave Gears – the ORIGINAL for over 50 years To this day, gears from Limburg an der Lahn are the undisputed pioneers that set the standard for precision and reliability in drive technology. Zero backlash, compactness and lightweight are just some of the features that make their use in demanding applications unquestionable. However, the true greatness of Strain Wave Gears is revealed in their wide range of applications. Whether in aerospace, robotics or medical technology – they are an indispensable component, especially in industries that prioritise accuracy and reliability. But what is the secret of Harmonic Drive® Strain Wave Gears, what is their durability, zero backlash and hollow shaft based on? Our brand new animated video shows why precision gears from Harmonic Drive SE have been the undisputed first choice for more than half a century and explains the heart of the gears: the functional principle. Get to know the three main components on which the Harmonic Drive® Strain Wave Gear is based – and how the principle-based preload of the gear enables backlash-free, permanent tooth engagement via the so-called coning effect. Whether as a gear, an actuator with encoder or as part of customised configurations – the original Harmonic Drive® Strain Wave Gear guarantees unlimited adaptability.
