Bob Mullins explains the operating principles behind the Harmonic Drive strain wave gearing. The mechanism is comprised of three components: Wave Generator, Flexspline, and Circular Spline. The high performance attributes of this gearing technology including zero backlash, high torque, compact size, and excellent positional accuracy are a direct result of the unique operating principles.
