However, not all innovations are equal and nor do they follow a constant upward trend. Instead, their evolution takes the form of an S-shaped curve that reflects their typical lifecycle from early ...

Harmonic Drive Systems, or HDS, has been able to capitalize on demand growth with industrial robots and semiconductor production equipment, by having its compact strain wave reduction gears (also ...

3D printers are good for a lot of things, but making parts for power transmission doesn’t seem to be one of them. Oh sure, some light-duty gears and timing belt sprockets will work just fine when ...

Harmonic Drive Systems has been able to capitalize on demand growth with industrial robots and semiconductor production equipment, by having its compact strain wave reduction gears (also known as ...

As the demand for AI-driven solutions in the robotics industry rises, so does the strain on the hardware. For companies like Schaeffler, the opportunity to bring new system components—precision ...

Harmonic Drive LLC engineers and manufactures precision servo actuators, gearheads and gear component sets. We work closely with both Fortune 500 and companies of all sizes to understand their ...

Gears make the industrial world go ’round. And RIT engineering faculty and doctoral students are working to keep them moving efficiently. Gears transmit the motion necessary to operate the equipment ...

Motion is a critical function of any robotic system, and actuators play a key role in supporting accurate and repeatable torque, force, etc. As robotic systems evolve thanks to trends in ...

We just wrapped up the Robotics Module Challenge portion of the Hackaday Prize, and if there’s one thing robots need to do, it’s move. This usually means some sort of motor, but you’ll probably want a ...
