Shorter drive
20 April 2015
Expecting growth in the market for motion control to continue, Harmonic Drive has developed a new, shorter, SHD drive targeting the trend for smaller, lighter rigs.

A hollow shaft has been incorporated into the centre of the unit. With a diameter ranging from 11-40mm the hollow shaft allows original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to feed through cabling, supply lines and other services.
Available in six sizes, from 14-40 with equivalent weights of 0.33-3.09kg, the SHD-2SH series units are available with a repeatable peak torque from 12 to 453 Nm and reduction ratios of 50, 100 and 160:1. This enhanced power-to-weight ratio is complemented by a shorter Flexspline and heavy duty output bearings.
