IntroductionThe FHG-III series harmonic drive is a precision reduction unit featuring a large hollow shaft design and an integrated sealed flange. Components are delivered as a single pre-filled assembly with specialist lubricating grease and an internal high-rigidity cross roller bearing, simplifying machine integration and cabling. Units are available with either fixed circular spline + flexspline output or fixed flexspline + circular spline output.
Features- Large hollow shaft for routing cables and optical lines through the drive
- Integrated sealed flange, pre-filled with specialized grease for simplified assembly
- Input interface via timing pulleys or gear shafts
- High rotational and positioning accuracy
- High torque capacity and structural rigidity
- Coaxial input and output for compact integration

Performance / Rated torque and related values (selected excerpts)Manufacturer tables provide rated torque (Nm), permissible peak torque at start/stop (Nm), permissible maximum average load torque (Nm), permissible max input speed (rev/min), backlash (Arc Sec) and weight (kg) per model and reduction ratio. Example extracts:
Model 14 (reductions 50/80/100/120): rated torque @2000 r/min input ~7–10 Nm; permissible peak torque ~23–36 Nm; permissible max average torque ~9–14 Nm; permissible max input speed (grease) up to 8500–15000 r/min depending on reduction and variant; Backlash ≤20 Arc Sec.
Models 17, 20, 25, 32, 40: detailed matrices list rated torque, peak torque, permissible average torque, max input speed, backlash, weight and design life per reduction ratio and model size (see product tables).
Applications / NotesThe integrated sealed flange and large hollow bore are suitable where cabling or optical routing through the drive is required. Configurable output arrangements and multiple reduction ratios support precision positioning, indexing and high-torque industrial applications such as robotics, rotary tables, camera/antenna positioning and automated machinery.
