Flexwave - The high-precision gearbox
The new Flexwave strain wave gear, with its light, compact design and zero backlash, meets the ever-increasing demands of miniaturisation and robotics, and has already been installed with precision in countless hand axes.
The transmission mechanism:
- Flex gear and elastic bearing take an 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.
