Harmonic Drive: Mechanical Engineering

Highest precision in the smallest of spaces

Is it possible to hit a euro coin at a distance of 100 metres? It is not only possible, it must be absolutely feasible to produce high-quality machine tools. Harmonic Drive® products are mainly found where space is limited. They are usually not designed according to torque, but also according to stiffness or hollow shaft diameter.

Harmonic Drive® in Mechanical Engineering

Prime discipline of mechanical engineering

If we were to pick one prime discipline of German mechanical engineering, the machine tool industry would definitely be a favourite. Thanks to the contribution it has made to innovation and advancements in productivity throughout industry as a whole, it is of great economic importance, and of course, it can look back at a long tradition. Additive manufacturing is continuing this tradition. Shapes and structures formerly thought of as impossible to attain can now be produced by additive means.

Precision and flexibility

The trend towards automation and networking with intelligent systems is representative of the technical progress and current efforts of the industry. This results in increasing demands on both mechanical and complete drive systems. Variable motor feedback systems allow the drives to be integrated into the customer's existing control concepts.
