April 23, 2014 - Harmonic Drive introduces HPGP Planetary Gearhead based upon high precision Harmonic Planetary gears. The HPGP series achieves 33% higher torque while maintaining high precision through use of ring-gear technology and high moment stiffness through use of an integral cross-roller output bearing. The HPGP series achieves longer life and can allow smaller gearheads to be used A Quick-Couple input shaft and motor flange allow easy mounting to a servo motor.

Key Features:

  • 33% higher rated torque than the original HPG Series
  • Same compact design
  • High precision
  • Innovative Ring Gear provides backlash compensation for the life of the gear
  • Backlash <1 arc-min is available(size #14-65) (Standard backlash specification is < 3 arc-min)
  • Cross roller bearing for high load capacity and moment stiffness
  • Easy mounting to a wide variety of servo motors
  • Reduction ratios between 4:1 and 45:1

Applications:

  • Robots: SCARA, Parallel link robots
  • Machine Tool: Gantry robots, Linear axis
  • Packaging machines
