A method and apparatus for providing low-cost, realistic force feedback including an improved actuator. The invention provides force sensations to a user and includes an interface device coupled to a host computer and allowing a user to interact with a host application program. A user object, such as a joystick, is moveable by a user in at least one rotary degree of freedom. A sensor reports a locative signal to the host computer to indicate a position of the user object. An actuator outputs forces on the user object in response to signals from the host computer and program. The actuator includes a housing, a set of grounded magnets provided on opposing surfaces of the housing and creating a magnetic field, and a rotor coupled to the user object positioned between the magnets. The rotor rotates about an axis of rotation and includes a shaft and teeth spaced around the shaft. An electric current flows through one or more coils on the teeth to cause the rotor to rotate. The teeth and the magnets are provided in a skewed, helical arrangement relative to each other so that, as the rotor rotates, a first tooth gradually exits the magnetic field as the next consecutive tooth gradually enters the magnetic field, thereby significantly reducing a cogging effect of the rotor when the user object is moved by the user and increasing the fidelity of forces experienced by the user.

Each tooth further defines a first gullet radius (R1) located between the gullet and tertiary clearance surface; a second gullet radius (R2) extending between a base surface of the gullet and the rake face; and a pitch (P) between the respective tooth and a preceding tooth in a cutting direction of the saw blade. In each tooth, R2>D>R1, D/P is within the range of about 25% to about 35% and R2/R1≧about 1.4. R1 defines a minimum radius (R_min) at a base of the gullet and R_min/D>about 20%.

A wave gear device has a rigid internal gear, a flexible external gear, and a wave generator. The tooth profiles of both gears are initially defined by a basic rack tooth profile shape. The lower parts of the dedendum portions of these tooth profiles are modified by curves C2 and C3 having pressure angles α2 and α3 that are less than the standard pressure angle α1 of the basic rack tooth profile shape C1. An increase in thickness of the tooth bottom side can be minimized even if the tooth depth is increased and the tooth thickness/tooth space ratio changed to increase the tooth thickness. Hence, the ratcheting torque of a wave gear device having a high reduction gear ratio can be increased without reducing the service life and strength of a pinion cutter for the rigid internal gear, or the fatigue strength of the flexible external gear.
