Principle of harmonic gear transmission

Interpretation: Harmonic gear transmission is a new type of mechanism that relies on elastic deformation to realize transmission. It uses a flexible element to realize mechanical transmission, thus obtaining a series of special functions that are difficult to be realized by other transmissions.

Principle:

The transmission of torque and motion in harmonic gear drive mainly depends on the continuous elastic deformation of flexspline. The principle of harmonic gear transmission is that through the action of wave generator, the moving deformation wave is generated in the flexible gear assembly and meshed with the rigid gear teeth, so as to achieve the purpose of transmission.

Advantages:

1, the backlash of harmonic gear transmission is small and adjustable, and even zero backlash transmission can be realized.

2. When a structural type such as an electromagnetic wave generator or a disk wave generator is adopted, a smaller moment of inertia can be obtained.

Extended data

Application direction:

1. Harmonic gears are widely used in aviation, aerospace, energy, bionic machinery, weapons, electronic equipment, mining metallurgy, transportation, lifting machinery, petrochemical machinery, textile machinery, agricultural machinery and medical equipment.

2. In the servo system with high dynamic performance, harmonic gear transmission shows its superiority. It transmits power from tens of watts to tens of kilowatts, but high-power harmonic gear transmission is mostly used in short-term working occasions.
