    摘要: A slotted-type rigid coupling is manufactured so that the internal-diameter dimension of a first shaft hole of a circumferentially divided shaft-fastening part is the same as that of a shaft. The first shaft hole is widened by widening force from a pressing mechanism provided with a fastening bolt, and the shaft is inserted through the first shaft hole up to a shaft insertion hole. The widening force is ceased, the first shaft hole is narrowed by fastening force from the pressing mechanism, and the shaft is securely fastened. When the shaft is securely fastened to the shaft-fastening part by the fastening bolt, eccentricity in the shaft is prevented or minimized.

    摘要: A cup-shaped strain wave gearing has an externally toothed gear formed with a cylindrical extension portion extending from an end of an external tooth forming portion of the externally toothed gear. A space between the external peripheral surface of the cylindrical extension portion and an end face of an internally toothed gear is sealed by an oil seal. A space between an outer-side lubrication portion on the outer side of the externally toothed gear and an inner-side lubrication portion on the inner side of the externally toothed gear is blocked by a lubricant-mixing-prevention part configured from the cylindrical extension portion and the oil seal. The mixing of different types of lubricants supplied to the outer-side and inner-side lubrication portions can be effectively prevented.

    摘要: A strain wave gearing wherein the tooth profile of an external teeth of a cup-shaped or silk-hat-shaped external gear is set as follows. The tooth-tip tooth thickness decreases gradually from an external-teeth outer end toward an external-teeth inner end along an external tooth trace direction. In addition, a pressure angle at a pitch point (P) increases gradually from the external-teeth outer end toward the external-teeth inner end along the external tooth trace direction. Thus, it is possible to realize a cup-type or silk-hat-type strain wave gearing in which external teeth mesh with internal teeth in a wide range along the tooth trace direction, rather than only in one cross-section perpendicular to the axis in the tooth trace direction.

    摘要: An outer-ring lubrication groove pattern formed in an outer-race raceway surface and an inner-race lubrication groove pattern formed in an inner-race raceway surface of a wave generator bearing of a strain wave gearing device are patterns in which linear lubrication grooves having very small widths and depths of several micrometers or less are arranged at fine pitches of several micrometers or less. The inner-race lubrication groove pattern includes a second groove pattern formed in long-axis-side inner-race raceway surface portions to hold the lubricant, and a first groove pattern formed in short-axis-side inner-race raceway surface portions to hold the lubricant and guide the lubricant to the second groove pattern. This configuration improves the contact state between balls and the inner-race and outer-race raceway surfaces of the wave generator bearing, thus reducing the coefficient of friction therebetween.

    摘要: In a wave generator for a strain wave gearing, a plug outer peripheral surface of a rigid wave plug has a non-circular profile and is fixed to an inner-race inner peripheral surface of a wave bearing by press-fitting and using an adhesive. The plug outer peripheral surface is a groove formation surface in which microgrooves are formed as adhesive-retaining grooves that can retain the adhesive. When the wave plug is press-fitted into the wave bearing, the amount of adhesive that is scraped out from therebetween is reduced and the bonding strength therebetween can be increased while also preventing unevenness of the bonding strength.

    摘要: A three-dimensional tooth profile of internal teeth in a strain wave gearing is a basic internal-teeth tooth profile at an internal-teeth outer end, and is a reduced tooth profile, in which the basic internal-teeth tooth profile is proportionally reduced only in the lateral direction, at other tooth-trace-direction positions. A three-dimensional tooth profile of external teeth is a basic external-teeth tooth profile at an external-teeth outer end, and is an increased tooth profile, in which the basic external-teeth tooth profile is proportionally increased only in the lateral direction, at other tooth-trace-direction positions. The tooth tip circle of an internal-teeth inner-end-side portion of the internal teeth is larger than that of other portions and does not interfere with the external teeth. The external teeth and the internal teeth mesh three-dimensionally, the teeth do not interfere at the internal-teeth inner-end side.

    摘要: A strain wave gearing has a rigid internally toothed gear, a flexible externally toothed gear, and a wave generator. Before being flexed by the wave generator, the externally toothed gear has a cylindrical body part, an inside diameter of which is such that the inside diameter D is smallest at a rear end thereof and increases gradually from the rear end to an opening end thereof. After being flexed by the wave generator, D1≤D is satisfied where D1 is the minor diameter of an elliptical inner circumferential surface of the opening end of the cylindrical body part. The externally toothed gear, which is provided with such a tapered cylindrical body part, is suitable for manufacturing by die molding such as casting, and can also alleviate excessive uneven contact thereof with a wave bearing.

    摘要: A planetary reduction gear device has first and second planetary gears meshed with a sun gear and an internal at different locations in a direction of an axis line; and a carrier assembly for supporting the first and second planetary gears. The carrier assembly has a first planetary carrier for supporting the first planetary gears and a second planetary carrier for supporting the second planetary gears. The first and second planetary carriers are fixed coaxially with each other in the direction of the axis line so as to rotate integrally. A planetary reduction gear device having a large torque capacity can be obtained.

    摘要: An externally toothed gear of a cup-type strain wave gearing has external teeth, the tooth profile of which gradually changes in the tooth-trace direction. The external teeth are formed with an external teeth portion capable of meshing with internal teeth of an internally toothed gear, a first external teeth extension portion and a second external teeth extension portion, in which the first and second external teeth extension portions do not mesh with the internal teeth. The second external teeth extension portion has a narrowing tapered tooth profile so that the second external teeth extension portion serves as a guide when the external teeth is inserted into the internal teeth. The work of assembling the externally toothed gear in the internally toothed gear is made easier.

    摘要: In a strain wave gearing device, fine first and second lubricant-holding grooves for holding lubricant are formed at fine pitches in an outer-race external peripheral surface of a wave generator bearing and an outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion of an externally toothed gear in contact therewith. Fine lubricant-guiding grooves for guiding the lubricant to the outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion are formed at fine pitches in a second internal peripheral surface portion, which adjoins the outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion, of an internal peripheral surface of the externally toothed gear. This configuration improves the contact state between the outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion of the externally toothed gear and the outer-race external peripheral surface, thus suppressing fretting wear occurring in these surfaces.
