  • Patent number: 10197145
    Abstract: An externally toothed gear of a dual-type strain wave gearing is provided with first and second external teeth having different teeth numbers. The first and second external teeth are flexed by a wave generator by the same flexing amount, into an ellipsoidal shape. The average pressure angle of main-tooth-surface sections of tooth profiles of the first external teeth having a low teeth number is less acute than the average pressure angle of main-tooth-surface sections of tooth profiles of the second external teeth having a high teeth number. Accordingly, a dual-type strain wave gearing can be achieved with which the first and second external teeth having different teeth numbers can be suitably flexed to form excellent meshing states with respective internally toothed gears.
