Technical Specifications & Data

 

The SHD Series Harmonic Drives are divided into two main categories to suit different robotic and automation needs: the Special for Joint (ultra-compact) and the Regular Type.

 

  • Available Gear Ratios: 30:1, 50:1, 80:1, 100:1, 120:1
  • Rated Torque Capacity: From 0.08 N.m (micro-joints) up to 28 N.m (heavy-duty joints) at 2000 r/min input.
  • Peak Torque (Start/Stop): Built to withstand high shock loads, handling peak torques up to 61 N.m.
  • Maximum Input Speed: High-speed capability reaching up to 10,000 r/min for smaller models, ensuring rapid dynamic response.
