Cycloidal and strain wave gears: The precision dream team
Cycloidal gears and strain wave gears complement each other ideally to create a genuine dream team for robotics and automation.
They achieve the optimum in performance and are the key to maximum efficiency, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. The product portfolio of Nabtesco Precision Europe GmbH includes both technologies and Nabtesco is the only manufacturer in the world to offer a torque spectrum from 7 to 70,000 Nm.
Virtually every application, machine or system contains larger and smaller axes. The choice of gears significantly affects the performance of the robot or automation system. If precision is a central requirement, precision gears are essential. While various technologies are available on the market, only cycloidal gears and strain wave gears meet the most stringent requirements for precision, torque capacity, and torque density. This results in impressive performance, especially when used in combination. If the larger axes of a robot or machine are equipped with cycloidal gears and the smaller axes in the vicinity of the end effector with strain wave gears, this combination achieves the best possible precision from all interlinked axes. Cycloidal gears and strain wave gears are a genuine dream team for robotics & automation.
