Servo Mount Gearhead Architecture

Harmonic Planetary and Harmonic Drive gearheads mount directly to standard servo motors using a flange or shaft input interface. The Quick Connect coupling system allows motor exchange without realignment. The cross roller output bearing provides direct load support.

Quick Connect Motor Mount

Rapid motor exchange without realignment tools, compatible with most servo motor flange standards.

🎯

Low Backlash

Less than 3 arc-min standard. Less than 1 arc-min available as an option on most series.

🔩

Cross Roller Output

Integrated cross roller bearing supports radial, axial, and moment loads without additional bearings.

📡

Continuous Compensation

Continuous backlash compensation maintains low backlash throughout the gear life.

🔄

High Torsional Stiffness

High stiffness minimises compliance in the drive train for precise dynamic positioning.

🔧

Grease Lubricated for Life

No maintenance lubrication required over the operating life of the gearhead.

Typical Applications

The HP8 suits servo motor driven robot joints, precision index tables, semiconductor wafer stages, laser beam steering, AGV and AMR propulsion drives, and any precision motion application requiring a servo mount gearhead with low backlash and high moment stiffness.
