New Harmonic Drive HPF Series: High-Performance Hollow Shaft Gear Unit

The new Harmonic Drive® HPF Series has quickly become a go-to choice for engineers

The new Harmonic Drive® HPF Series has quickly become a go-to choice for engineers requiring high-torque solutions in compact spaces. Its precision gearing, reliability, and versatility make it ideal for robotics, automation, and other high-performance applications that require exact motion control.

Key Applications:

The HPF series has already seen widespread adoption across several industries. In robotics, it is used in robotic arms and precision movement systems, where space-saving designs and torque output are critical. The HPF series from Harmonic Drive® is also ideal for medical devices, particularly in robotic surgery and diagnostic machines, where high accuracy is essential.

Its low backlash and integrated cross-roller bearing make it especially suited for industrial automation, enhancing productivity in tasks such as pick-and-place operations and precision manufacturing. Additionally, its durability and compact design make it a perfect fit for aerospace systems, where both size and precision are often limiting factors.

Standout Features:

  • Ultra-Compact Design: The HPF series provides high torque with a minimal footprint, making it ideal for applications where space is at a premium.
  • High Torque Density: Delivers up to three times the rated torque for stronger performance in smaller sizes, suitable for various demanding applications.
  • Low Backlash: Provides precise, smooth motion control, essential for tasks requiring high accuracy.
  • Built-in Cross Roller Bearing: Enhances load capacity and simplifies integration, contributing to longer system life and greater efficiency.
