Results for tag: "Harmonic Drive"

Harmonic Drive is a type of belt and chain drive used in motion control applications. It is a gear system that uses a flexible element, such as a wave generator, to transmit torque. The wave generator is a thin, flexible metal ring with teeth that are bent in a wave-like pattern. This wave-like pattern allows the wave generator to absorb shock and vibration, making it ideal for applications that require precise motion control. The wave generator is connected to a drive shaft, which is connected to a drive motor. The drive motor is used to rotate the wave generator, which in turn rotates the drive shaft. This rotation is then transferred to the output shaft, which is connected to the load. Harmonic Drive is used in a variety of industries, including robotics, aerospace, medical, and automotive. It is a cost-effective and reliable solution for applications that require precise motion control. Some companies in the Harmonic Drive market include Harmonic Drive Systems, Inc., Kollmorgen, and Neugart GmbH. Show Less Read more
