Nidec Shimpo 
Strain Wave (harmonic) Gear Units and Component Sets Optimized for Robotic Applications
The NIDEC-SHIMPO Flexwave is a compact gear reduction mechanism that provides:
Zero backlash, High efficiency ratings, High reduction ratios in a compact footprint, Exceptional, Repeatability and position accuracy, Light weight with high torque density
WPU, Complete Unit Assembly
- The core harmonic gear elements and cross roller bearing completely contained within a substructure
- Includes an output flange to enable a variety of mounting configurations
- The Complete Unit Assembly would be partially integrated into machinery
WPS, Simple Contained Assembly
- The core harmonic gear elements, with additional cross roller bearing support is included within this assembly
- No housing is provided for containment, requiring the designer to integrate into their equipment substructure
WPC, Component Sub-Assembly
- The core harmonic gear elements and cross roller bearing completely contained within a substructure
- Also included is an output flange to enable a variety of mounting configurations
- The Component Sub-assembly would be fully integrated into machinery
