Harmonic Solutions®
Ultimate Precision
Cone Drive’s harmonic gearing is zero to low backlash by design. It provides high transmission accuracy and can support a high ratio reduction in a single stage with low inertia. The highly accurate, torque dense design makes harmonic gears the perfect solution for ultimate precision motion control applications.
We manufacture a wide range of strain wave gearing options in our line of Cone Drive Harmonic Solutions®.
