Abstract

See full text

A strain wave gearing includes a rigid internally toothed gear, a flexible externally toothed gear disposed coaxially within the internally toothed gear, and a wave generator fitted within the externally toothed gear. The internally toothed gear and the externally toothed gear are spur gears having module m; and the number of teeth of the externally toothed gear is 2n less than the number of teeth of the internally toothed gear, where n is a positive integer. Taking a transverse cross-section at a prescribed position along a tooth trace direction of the external teeth as a main cross-section, a degree of flexing, with respect to a rim-neutral circle of the externally toothed gear prior to ellipsoidal flexing, of a rim-neutral line of the ellipsoidally flexed externally toothed gear is set, at a position on the major axis in the main cross-section, to 2mn.
