Nidec Drive Technology launches next-generation FLEXWAVE reducers
Nidec Drive Technology introduced its next-generation FLEXWAVE strain-wave reducer family for precision robotic and automation axes, expanding the architecture across component sets, enclosed assemblies and complete gear units.

Evidence notes
- The range supports highly customised mechanisms, ready-to-use assemblies and motor-mounted gear units.
- Nidec combined revised tooth profiles with its high-volume precision-component manufacturing processes.
- The product targets compact, high-accuracy drive mechanisms where integration flexibility and repeatable motion are critical.
Company context
Nidec Drive Technology develops precision reducers, measuring equipment and drive technology for industrial and collaborative robots. The Kyoto-area manufacturer produces planetary and strain-wave gearheads at global sites for compact joints and high-volume servo axes.
