IntroductionThe FSG‑II strain wave gear series is designed for robot arm end-effectors and sealed rotary table applications. It uses a cross-slider coupling mechanism for the wave generator. Cam shaft bore dimensions are customizable to match specific motor models. The input shaft connects to the wave generator inner bore via a keyed connection. Typical mechanical layout fixes the circular spline at the base with the flexspline as the output element.
Features- Wave generator with integrated cam structure for improved self-alignment and relaxed machining tolerances.
- Compact design with high torque capacity across sizes.
- High rotational and positioning accuracy; backlash ≤20 arc sec in typical configurations.
- Coaxial input and output; input bore can be adapted to motor shafts.
- Commonly specified for robot arm end-effectors and sealed rotary tables requiring compact, coaxial reduction.

Examples (selected entries):
Model 14 @ 50: Rated 7 Nm (0.7 kgfm); peak 23 Nm; avg 9 Nm; momentary 46 Nm; max input speed up to 10000 r/min; backlash ≤20 arc sec; design life hours ~10000.
Model 17 @ 50: Rated 21 Nm (2.1 kgfm); peak 44 Nm; avg 34 Nm; momentary 91 Nm; max input speed up to 10000 r/min.
Model 20–40: Rated torque and permissible torques increase by model and reduction ratio (examples: Model 20 rated 33–120 Nm depending on ratio; Model 25 rated 51–217 Nm; Model 32 rated 99–459 Nm; Model 40 rated 178–802 Nm). Some configurations allow input speeds up to 15000 r/min (grease dependent).
