Patent number: 11707836Abstract: A gear device includes an internal gear, an external gear having flexibility configured to partially mesh with the internal gear and rotate around a rotation axis relatively to the internal gear, and a wave generator configured to come into contact with an inner circumferential surface of the external gear and move a meshing position of the internal gear and the external gear in a circumferential direction around the rotation axis. The external gear includes a cylindrical section including a first end portion with which the wave generator is in contact and a second end portion adjacent to the first end portion along the rotation axis. An inner circumferential surface of the first end portion includes a polished surface. An inner circumferential surface of the second end portion includes a lathe-cut surface.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Inventors: Satoru Masai, Yuya Kataoka, Nobuyuki Takehana, Yoshiyuki Soya

Patent number: 11441661Abstract: A gear device includes an internal gear, an external gear having flexibility configured to partially mesh with the internal gear and rotate, and a wave generator provided on an inner side of the external gear and configured to move a meshing position of the internal gear and the external gear in a circumferential direction around the rotation axis. A main material of the internal gear includes graphite particles. A tooth surface of an internal tooth of the internal gear has a convex pattern including a first convex part and a second convex part extending in a first direction having a component along the rotation axis and arranged side by side in a second direction crossing the first direction, and 10?D?40 and S?D?20, wherein D [?m] is an average particle diameter of the graphite particles and S [?m] is a separation distance between the first convex part and the second convex part in the second direction.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2021Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Inventors: Satoru Masai, Yuya Kataoka, Nobuyuki Takehana, Yoshiyuki Soya
