Acrodyne range of Harmonic Drive Systems featuring Wave Generator, Flexispline and Circular Spline components.

Harmonic Drive Systems
Acrodyne’s Precision Motion Control products division has been the sole distributor of Harmonic Drive Systems and Harmonic Drive LLC products in Australia and New Zealand for over twenty years, and has been instrumental in it’s extensive growth in the field of Robotics and Mechatronics.

Key Features of Harmonic Drive Systems
The unique Harmonic Drive operating principle continues to open up new applications in all areas of modern mechanical engineering.

It allows high reduction ratios with concentric shafts and with no backlash and vibration.
It is based on a very simple construction comprising of three components

Wave Generator
Flexispline
Circular Spline

Flexispline Components for Harmonic Drive Systems
The Flexispline is made of special steel with a higher resistance to fatigue therefore different from the typical driving force transmission apparatus, every tooth is subjected to very little force but provides a high capacity of torque. This is because up to 30% of the teeth are always taking some load and these teeth come into contact with one another face to face. Therefore every tooth is subjected to a minimum of force while providing a maximum of torque.

Applications for Harmonic Drive Systems
Harmonic Drive Systems offer to robot manufacturers many benefits including high positional accuracy, low vibration in a compact design. Their light weight design makes them suitable for use in any of the robot axes as they contribute minimal weight to the robotic arm therefore increasing robot payload capacity.

Similarly these features are critical to applications such as;

Machine Tools
Printing Machines
Medical Equipment ( MRI & CT Scans)
Industrial Robots
Solar Tracking devices
Measuring & Testing machines
Aerospace
Radars, Telescopes, Antennas & Arrays
Camera Head Pan & Tilt

Harmonic drives systems are suitable for use in any applications requiring;

High accuracy and reliability
High torque
Low weight
Precision phase controls and speed controls
Compact design

Other products include planetary gears, linear actuators, servo actuators and servo drives.
