About Harmonic Drive Systems
Harmonic Drive Systems develops strain-wave gearing, precision reducers, servo actuators and mechatronic assemblies for robot joints and high-accuracy machinery. Its compact gear units provide high reduction ratios, low backlash and repeatable motion in industrial robots, semiconductor equipment, medical devices, aerospace mechanisms and factory automation.
The product range includes component sets, housed gearheads and integrated actuators with motors, encoders and brakes. Engineers select sizes and configurations around torque, speed, stiffness, life and packaging constraints, then integrate them into articulated joints or positioning axes. Harmonic Drive Systems manufactures in Japan and through international group companies, with engineering and service support for equipment builders.
