HARMONIC DRIVE AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLING

摘要

A harmonic drive includes a flexible gear. Also included is a ring gear that meshes with the flexible gear. Further included is a rotor. Yet further included is a wave generator sleeve directly fitted over an outer surface of the rotor, wherein the wave generator sleeve is disposed radially within the flexible gear. Also included is a bearing assembly disposed between the wave generator sleeve and the flexible gear, wherein the wave generator rotates the flexible gear as the wave generator sleeve is rotated by the rotor.
