Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

Wave gears are characterized by minimal weight, size, and noise, low energy losses, and high kinematic efficiency. They are well suited to economic sectors whose development is currently a priority. Mass-produced wave gears are combined with wave generators of cam type, containing a flexible bearing, and are able to reduce relatively small torques. The strength and durability of the following components are calculated: flexible gears, flexible bearings, and the constituents of a wave transmission.
