Precision Gear Unit Architecture

Harmonic Drive gear units deliver zero backlash, high torque density, and exceptional positioning accuracy in a complete housed assembly. The cross roller output bearing directly supports loads without additional bearings, simplifying mechanical design and reducing system cost.

🎯

Zero Backlash

Strain wave gear principle eliminates all backlash for bidirectional positioning without dead band.

⚙️

High Torque Density

Compact housing delivers high repeated peak torque relative to size and weight.

🔩

Cross Roller Output

Integrated cross roller bearing supports radial, axial, and moment loads directly.

📐

High Accuracy

Standard accuracy less than 1 arc-min across the full range of available sizes.

🔄

High Stiffness

Torsional stiffness K1/K2/K3 data available for all sizes for system compliance analysis.

🔧

Compact Housed Assembly

Complete housed gear unit reduces external support hardware and simplifies mechanical integration.

Typical Applications

The CSG-2UH suits robot joint axes, rotary index tables, semiconductor wafer handling stages, machine tool rotary axes, precision gantry drives, and any application requiring zero backlash speed reduction with direct load attachment.
