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
