Abstract: A wave generator of a flat-type strain wave gearing has an insertion member disposed between two wave bearings. The insertion member is pressed into an elliptical outer peripheral surface of a plug and is fixed thereto by an adhesive. An inner ring contact part of the insertion member is in contact with inner rings of the wave bearings from the direction of a center axis. When the flat-type strain wave gearing is in an operating state, the wave bearings can be prevented from moving relative to the plug in the direction of the center axis by means of thrust force acting on the wave bearings.

Abstract: A foreign-matter intrusion preventing mechanism of a strain wave gearing is provided with a filter attachment plate attached to a wave generator plug and a filter attached to the ellipsoidal outer peripheral surface of the filter mounting plate. Lubricant flows, via the filter, between a wave generator bearing and a meshing portion between an external gear and an internal gear.

Because the filter is in contact with the inner peripheral surface of an external-tooth forming portion of the external gear, foreign matters can be assuredly prevented from intruding into a sliding friction portion between an outer-ring outer peripheral surface of the wave generator bearing and the inner peripheral surface of the external-tooth forming portion of the external gear.

Abstract: A wave generator for a strain wave gearing makes a flexible externally toothed gear to flex into an elliptical shape and mesh with rigid internally toothed gears, and makes meshing positions of the flexible externally toothed gear with the both gears to move in a circumferential direction. On the inner side of a rigid plug of the wave generator, a plug support ring is secured and integrated. The rigid plug is formed from an iron-based material, and the plug support ring is formed from a high-rigidity material that is more rigid than the iron-based material. Since deformation of the rigid plug is suppressed, the wave generator provided with a large hollow part can be obtained.
