Short gears: Strain wave gear technology with impressive performance improvement

The Nabtesco strain wave gears have been equipped with new detailed designs through changes to the gearbox geometry. As a result, every core component has been optimized. Convince yourself of 120% power density, 140% service life (10,000h, market standard 7,000h) and all this with the same size. Specially developed for humanoid robots and cobots.
