Compact gearbox
12 September 2016
New from Harmonic Drive UK, the CSF-2UP gearbox range is designed for medical technology, robotics and measuring-instrument applications. The rapidly expanding smart and collaborative robotics sector is particularly dependent on compact and ultra lightweight gears.

The CSF-2UP gearboxes form part of the CSF Series, a range characterised by its very short length and low weight. The new gearbox range is available in three sizes, with gear ratios of 30, 50 and 100 at a repeatable peak torque from 1.8 to 28Nm. The gearbox can accept maximum speeds of up to 8500rpm, which ensures applications benefit from excellent dynamics and extremely short machining times.
The zero backlash capability of the CSF-2UP gearbox range, combined with its lightweight and compact features, makes it ideal for use in high precision positioning tasks in applications with limited space, such as jointed arm robots, measuring instruments and various uses in the growing medical technology market.
