Abstract: A cup-shaped flexible externally toothed gear of a wave gear device, wherein a diaphragm plate slopes from a diaphragm internal peripheral edge portion contiguous to a boss part toward a diaphragm external peripheral edge portion contiguous to a cylindrical body portion in a direction in which the diaphragm external peripheral edge portion is at greater distance from an open end of the cylindrical body portion with respect to an orthogonal plane orthogonal to a central axis line of the device. The length dimension of the diaphragm plate and the length dimension of the cylindrical body portion in the axial direction can be increased. Therefore, the fatigue strength of the diaphragm plate and the load capacity of the wave gear device in which the flexible externally toothed gear has been incorporated can be increased.

Abstract: A wave-gear-type linear-actuation mechanism comprises a flat-type wave gear; a lead screw that is a structural component of the wave gear and is formed on an outer peripheral surface of a first circular spline; and a linear-actuation cylinder threaded onto the lead screw, a linear-actuation cylinder 4 having a screw groove that is formed in an inner peripheral surface thereof. It is possible to obtain a linear-actuation mechanism whose holding force during reverse input mode (speed increasing mode) is higher than cases where a cup-type flexible screw is used.
