Stainless Steel Nidec Shimpo Strain-Wave-Gearbox

Product Details

Achieving new heights in compact, zero backlash gear technology. NIDEC-SHIMPO has had a long and storied history supplying the leading robotics and machine tool manufacturers in Japan. Our loyal customers within these industries strongly urged us to develop our own strain wave gear technology, and leverage our primary competencies – modularity and flexibility of the core design and consistent production in mass volume – to help them become more competitive in the global marketplace. After extensive effort to refine harmonic gear technology and to manufacture at a level that exceeds our customers' expectations, NIDEC-SHIMPO is proud to introduce our new FLEXWAVE product line.The NIDEC-SHIMPO FLEXWAVE is a very compact harmonic gear reduction mechanism that achieves zero backlash, as well as exceptional accuracy and repeatability. The FLEXWAVE consists of three major internal elements – the elliptical wave generator, the flexspline, and the circular spline. The elasticity properties of the flexspline and the teeth differential between the flexspline and the circular spline result in the unique reduction characteristics. When compared to other reduction technologies, the FLEXWAVE offers the following advantages:Zero backlashHigh efficiency ratingsHigh reduction ratios in a compact footprintExceptional repeatability and positional accuracyLight weight with superior torque densityThese characteristics enable the FLEXWAVE to be the superior choice when sizing and selecting the proper reduction technology for ROBOTICS, MEDICAL EQUIPMENT, SEMICONDUCTORand CIRCUIT MANUFACTURING, MACHINE TOOLSor any ASSEMBLY AUTOMATION applications requiring fine positioning.
