IntroductionThe SHD-mini series harmonic drive is engineered for applications requiring minimal volume and weight. It features a top-hat style flexspline, reduced axial dimensions and a pre-assembled modular form factor for immediate integration. The main bearing uses compact four-point contact ball bearings to directly support external loads, and shaft bores can be customized to match motor shafts. Select motor models according to your mechanical design constraints.
