Gears and Actuators

The roots of Harmonic Drive SE can be traced back to the invention of the strain wave gear by Walton Musser in 1955. Originally designed for space applications, the outstanding characteristics of this gear principle – including zero backlash, compactness and high reduction in one stage – quickly gained acceptance in other industries. Since 1970, Harmonic Drive has been the leading manufacturer of precision gears and is your first point of contact worldwide when it comes to highly developed drive solutions.
