PRINCIPLE AND STRUCTURESystem ComponentsThe FLEXSPLINE is a non-rigid, thin cylindrical steel cup with externalteeth on a slightly smaller pitch diameter than the Circular Spline.It fits over <strong>and</strong> is held in an elliptical shape by the Wave Generator.FlexsplineWave GeneratorThe WAVE GENERATOR is a thin raced ball bearing fitted onto an ellipticalplug serving as a high efficiency torque converter.The CIRCULAR SPLINE is a rigid ring with internal teeth, engaging theteeth of the Flexspline across the major axis of the Wave Generator.Circular Spline0 º90º 360ºCircular SplineWave GeneratorFlexsplineThe Flexspline is elliptically shaped by TheWave Generator <strong>and</strong> engaged with theCircular Spline at the major elliptical axis.The teeth completely disengage on theminor axis.When the Circular Spline is fixed <strong>and</strong>the Wave generator rotates clockwise,the Flexspline is elastically deformed<strong>and</strong> rotates counterclockwise relative tothe Circular Spline.For each 360 degrees clockwise movementof the Wave Generator,the Flexsplinemoves counterclockwise by two teethrelative to the Circular Spline.Circular SplineCircular SplineInputInputCross Roller BearingWave GeneratorFlexsplineCross Roller BearingWave GeneratorFlexsplineHollow Shaft Type (2UH)The <strong>SHF</strong> harmonic drive housed unit offers the design engineerconvenience <strong>and</strong> simplicity. The gears are contained within acompact housing, where the output flange is supported by a largediameter cross roller bearing. This provides exceptional momentstiffness with high radial <strong>and</strong> axial load capacity.Input Shaft Type (2UJ)The <strong>SHF</strong>-2UJ housed units have a different design for theinput. This series is driven via a solid shaft. These units, like the<strong>SHF</strong>-2UH models, integrate high capacity cross roller output bearingto provide a high permissible tilting moment as well as hightilting stiffness.Simplicity Unit Type (Option not shown)Flat type (2 SO) <strong>and</strong> Hollow Shaft type (2 SH) have been simplified by eliminatingInput <strong>and</strong> Output Flanges to achieve design flexibility <strong>and</strong> cost reduction.<strong>Harmonic</strong> <strong>Drive</strong> <strong>LLC</strong> 800-921-33325
