Harmonic Drive® Torque Sensors determine the load situation of an actuator and help to prevent overloads or enable safe human machine interaction or force feedback functions. Based on its internal design the sensor is loaded by pure torque, but not by bearing forces. Hence the torque signal is not influenced by bearing forces. As a consequence the sensor has a compact design and requires only minimum additional space. The tilting moment stiffness of the axis is not reduced by the sensor.
Precise torque measurement in a compact gear design
Harmonic Drive® Gears are used wherever precise movements must be executed with zero backlash. In many applications, such as robotics or medical technology, torque is needed as an input signal for sensitive motion control. By compactly integrating a torque sensor into a strain wave gear, Harmonic Drive SE offers the user an additional torque signal for safety functions as well as sensitive motion control.
