Wave generator and harmonic reducer
By installing a pressure device inside the cam of the harmonic reducer to adjust the radial pressure of the inner raceway, the problem of unstable operation caused by the widening of the backlash under long-term load in the wave generator is solved, resulting in more stable operation and extended service life.

AI Technical Summary
Under prolonged load, existing harmonic reducers experience increased bearing clearance in the wave generator, leading to unstable operation and increased frictional losses between the wave generator and the flexspline.
A pressure device, including a piston chamber, an annular chamber, and a through hole, is installed inside the cam of the wave generator. The radial inner pressure of the inner raceway is adjusted by hydraulic or pneumatic pressure, causing slight deformation of the inner raceway, reducing the clearance, and thus achieving clearance adjustment.
It improves the operational stability of the wave generator, reduces the probability of fatigue failure, and extends its service life.
