Product Overview

The CSD-2A is an ultra flat cup type harmonic drive component set delivering the shortest possible axial length in its class. Available in sizes 14 to 65mm with ratios 50:1 to 160:1 and peak torques from 23 to 3430 Nm.

The CSD-2A is a precision component set intended for OEM integration where the surrounding housing, motor, and support structure are designed directly into the host machine.

OEM Component Integration

Harmonic Drive component sets provide the core strain wave gear elements for direct integration into OEM machine designs. The components integrate directly into the host structure, eliminating a separate gearbox housing and reducing system mass and axial length.

🌀

Wave Generator

Elliptical cam assembly — the input element that creates the strain wave motion.

🔧

Flexspline

Thin-walled flexible steel cup or hat — the output element with slightly fewer teeth.

Circular Spline

Rigid ring gear — the fixed element that establishes the gear ratio through tooth count difference.

🎯

Zero Backlash

Tooth engagement across the full mesh arc eliminates backlash inherently.

📐

Direct Integration

Components integrate into the host structure without a separate gearbox housing.

⚖️

Minimum Mass

No housing reduces system weight and shortens axial length compared to housed units.

Typical Applications

The CSD-2A suits OEM robot joint designs, custom machine tool rotary axes, semiconductor equipment, and precision positioning stages where the surrounding housing, motor support, and output structure are designed directly into the host machine.

Industrial Applications

These component sets are suited for OEM designs where engineers want to integrate strain-wave gearing directly into their own housings and mechanical assemblies.

🧩

Embedded OEM Designs

Used when the reducer elements are integrated directly into custom mechanical structures rather than installed as a complete housed gearbox.

OEMEmbeddedCustom housing
🤖

Robot Joint Development

Supports custom robotic joints where engineers want direct control over packaging, bearing layout, and motor coupling strategy.

Space-Constrained Assemblies

Helps reduce mass and envelope size in systems where every millimetre matters and a full housed unit would be too large.

CompactLightweightSpace saving
🏗️

Machine Builder Platforms

Useful in proprietary automation modules where the gearbox architecture is part of the machine structure itself.
