Posted: March 03, 2016In 1955 C. Walton Musser invented the strain wave gear. His precision reducer design includes only 3 parts, yet offers Zero Backlash, High Accuracy and High Torque to Weight Ratio and together with the USM Corporation perfected the mechanics of the strain wave gear, and commercialized it in 1960 forming the Harmonic Drive division of USM. The Harmonic Drive division grew to become the Harmonic Drive Group Companies, the worldwide leader in motion control with 3 manufacturing facilities in Japan, USA and Germany serving local and global companies...

Harmonic Planetary gears have simultaneous meshing between the sun gear and planet gears and between the planet gears and the internal gear. The sun gear is connected to the motor and a carrier, supporting the planet gears, is connected to the output. Single stage planetary gears can achieve reduction ratios up to 10:1. Ratios above 10:1 utilize a two stage design where the carrier of the first stage drives the sun gear of the second planetary stage.

Gearing products (components or housed gearboxes) are mechanical devices used to increase the output torque or change the speed (RPM) of a motor. They are also used for inertia matching between a load and a motor. The most common type of gearing product is a gearbox (or housed gearhead).
Most gearboxes are constructed from steel materials such as iron, aluminum and brass, however spur gearboxes can also be made with plastics such as polycarbonate or nylon. The orientation of the gear teeth plays a major role in the overall efficiency, torque and speed of the system. Straight gear teeth gearboxes are typically used in low-speed applications. These gearboxes can be noisy, and usually have lower overall efficiency. Helical gearboxes are typically used in high-speed applications...Categories: Technical Support - Posted: May 30, 2014
