FLEXWAVE the high precision Strain Wave Gearbox
The FLEXWAVE originated from a need for higher precision in combination with high reduction ratios. These gearboxes are particularly suitable for applications in robotics.
Reduction Mechanism:
- Flex gear and elastic bearing take elliptic shape with the cam inserted.
- Flex gear and internal gear are engaged at both ends of the long axis of the ellipse in a stable manner.
- With the internal gear fixed, when the cam (input) is rotated clockwise, the flex gear (output) rotates counterclockwise. And its rotational speed is determined by the tooth count differential between two gears.
