Application Of Harmonic Drive In Robots

Basic Principles and Features of Harmonic Drive

The harmonic drive is a new type of reducer with a simple structure, small size, and high efficiency. It uses resonance to achieve the reduction effect and consists of an internal gear, a flex spline, and an outer diameter gear. When the harmonic drive is in operation, the internal gear transmits power through the flexible spline, thus reducing the speed and outputting it.Harmonic drive has the characteristics of a simple structure, high precision, high rigidity, load-bearing capacity, reverse motion, and reverse operation.

Application of Harmonic Drive in Robots

Harmonic drive is widely used in robots due to its precision and stability. In industrial robots, the harmonic drive is used as the final speed reduction device to ensure the precision and stability of the robot, while also improving the robot's response speed and work efficiency. In medical and service robots,harmonic drive has low noise and low vibration characteristics, which can provide more precise motion control, ensuring smoother collaboration between robots and humans

Optimization of Robots by Harmonic Drive

The harmonic drive can optimize the performance of robots, specifically in the following aspects:

• Improve motion accuracy: Using the harmonic drive can achieve a high-precision motion range, enhancing the robot's motion precision.

• Improve motion speed: The harmonic drive can output higher torque and speed in a short time, thus quickly responding to commands to complete tasks.

• Reduce vibration and noise:The harmonic drive has low noise and low vibration characteristics, which can improve the stability of robot operation and reduce the noise and vibration output by robots.

• Improve operational stability: The harmonic drive has high rigidity and load-bearing characteristics, which can improve the robot's operational stability and reliability, reducing the failure rate.

• Improve reverse motion and reverse characteristics: Due to the asymmetric tooth structure of the harmonic drive, it can achieve reverse motion and reverse operation, making the robot more flexible and reliable in executing various operations.

In summary, the harmonic drive is a new type of speed reduction device widely used in modern robots. It features high precision, fast speed, and good stability, and is widely used in industrial, medical, and service robots, providing strong support for the development of robots. PICEA MOTION has independently developed and produced 11 series of harmonic drive reducers and over 300 types of harmonic reducers, and has newly upgraded to a high-torque series, improving the precision and service life of gear speed transmission, reducing vibration and noise, making performance more stable and reliable.
