Frequently Asked Questions about Harmonic Drive Gearboxes

What is a harmonic gearbox?

A harmonic gearbox is a high-precision mechanical device that uses flexible spline and wave generator to reduce speed and increase torque. Known for zeroo backlash, compact size, and exceptional repeatability, it´s ideal for robotics, automation, and motion control applications requiring precise, smooth movements.

How does a Harmonic Drive gearbox work?

A Harmonic Drive gearbox operates through a unique system involving three key components:

  • Wave Generator
  • Flexspline
  • Circular Spline
When the wave generator rotates, it deforms the flexspline, causing it to engage with the circular spline at two points. The slight difference in tooth count results in smooth, precise gear reduction with very high torque and minimal backlash.

What types of Harmonic Drive Gearboxes are Available?

Harmonic Drive® offers a variety of gear types and configurations to suit different applications. Each type offers unique advantages, such as zero-backlash, high torque density, or fast servo motor mounting, depending on your needs.
