General Installation Cautions Of Strain Wave Gear

1. The assembly of a strain wave reducer must be carried out in a clean environment to avoid the introduction of any foreign objects which may cause premature failure.

2. Be sure to have adequate lubrication on the tooth surface and flexible bearing.  Avoid application design to have the tooth face in a constant upward position which could cause lubrication deficiency. If a constant upward gear face position can not be avoided, fill the grease cavity to fully submerge the meshing splines.

3. When installing the cam, make sure the meshing is exactly at 6 o’clock and 12 o’clock as shown in picture 1. Should it be off from the line of symmetry as shown in picture 2, the assembly will vibrate and fail.

4. After assembly, trail run at a low speed of 100 rpm. Should any unusual vibration or noise is observed, stop and double-check the assembly. Contact a manufacturer representative immediately for assistance.

5. Only use the factory specified grease, do not use a substitute without factory approval.

6. Only use grade 12.9 fasteners, and use thread Loctite to prevent fasteners from loosening during operation.

7. The mounting surface must the flat within 0.01 mm and perpendicular to the axis within 0.01mm. The mounting threaded holes or through holes must be within 0.1 mm of the theoretical location.
