Enabling design innovation
10 August 2016
At the Engineering Design Show Harmonic Drive will be showcasing a range of servo actuators and gears to support design engineers in creating innovative solutions for applications across robotics, automation, medical, defence and aerospace sectors.
Among the products showcased will be the CanisDrive range of compact hollow shaft servo actuators. The range incorporates the company’s newly developed high capacity drive bearings. This means that the external load can be directly mounted without the need for additional bearings or support. As a result, the CanisDrive line is lightweight and more compact, without compromising the gear’s high precision.
“Design engineers operating in medical, automation or robotics sectors are increasingly expected to produce innovative products that are more compact and portable while also being more accurate and reliable. Using gears and actuators that are compact, powerful and that you can rely on to be accurate for the lifetime of the product you are developing opens up new opportunities to creatively meet the needs of your market," said Graham Mackrell, MD of Harmonic Drive UK.
