[0024] Working principle: During operation, the stator 6 of the motor generates an exciting rotating magnetic field through electromagnetic force to rotate the motor rotor 21, and then transmits the power to the wave generator 23. At this time, the wave generator 23 rotates to drive the harmonic reducer body 1 to rotate at a low speed, and the position signal is fed back to the control device through the real-time rotation of the encoder bushing 12. At the same time, the low-speed bearing 22 adopts bearing seals, which can greatly reduce the sliding friction resistance of the oil seal, making the output efficiency of the motor part higher and the heat generation smaller. Moreover, under the action of the coplanarity of the high-speed shaft encoder magnetic ring 13 and the low-speed shaft encoder magnetic ring 15, the entire module compresses the axial space of the front end cover 2 / output flange 3 compared with the conventional design. And the spatial layout of the first deep groove ball bearing 5 and the second deep groove ball bearing 8 compresses the axial proportion brought by the motor, enabling the motor to have enough space to maintain a high power density, meet the high-torque usage scenario of the harmonic, and be less likely to be damaged in the face of emergencies.
