Abstract: A strain wave gearing includes a wave generator that creates a state in which a flexible externally toothed gear is flexed into a non-circular shape and partially meshes with a rigid internally toothed gear, and that includes a wave plug having a non-circular outer peripheral surface and a wave bearing attached to the non-circular outer peripheral surface of the wave plug.

Abstract: In a strain wave gearing, a thrust force applied on an externally toothed gear during an increased-speed operation causes the externally toothed gear to move along an axis in a first direction, and the output-side end surface thereof is pressed, by a prescribed force, against a friction surface of a friction plate integrated with a rotating shaft part of a strain wave generator. Torque transmission efficiency can be reduced only during increased-speed operation, by means of a friction loss occurring between the externally toothed gear and the friction plate. When large load torque is applied from an output shaft which is an output-side member during reduced-speed operation, retention torque of the strain wave generator which is an input-side member during speed-reduction operation can be reduced.

Abstract: In the interior of a device housing of a strain wave gearing, a detection mechanism is incorporated at a site on the outer peripheral side of a hub of a wave generator. The hub of the wave generator is linked to a motor shaft so that axial force does not act thereon. The detection mechanism detects minute displacements in the axial direction that occur in the hub of the wave generator due to thrust acting on the wave generator. Thrust acting on the wave generator is obtained on the basis of the detected minute displacements. With this strain wave gearing in which the detection mechanism is incorporated, operation control that is responsive to sensed thrust is possible through the use of thrust information during operation.

Abstract: A powder supply mechanism, which is provided with a press-molded article obtained by consolidating a solid lubricant powder in advance, is incorporated into an inner-side space of an externally toothed gear of a strain wave gearing. While the strain wave gearing is operating, the press-molded article is worn down by the friction plate, whereby the powder supply mechanism can incrementally supply very small amounts of a solid lubricant abrasion powder from the press-molded article over an extended period. It is possible to suppress any reduction in efficiency caused by loss torque produced due to a large amount of the solid lubricant powder infiltrating gaps in, inter alia, a contact section of a wave generator rotating at high speed. Thus, it is possible to extend the service life of the powder-lubricated strain wave gearing while keeping the efficiency consistently high.

Abstract: A strain wave gearing is provided with: a rigid internally toothed gear; a flexible externally toothed gear that is arranged coaxially on the inside of the internally toothed gear; and a wave generator that is arranged coaxially on the inside of the externally toothed gear, and, on the inside of the externally toothed gear, in addition to the wave generator, a brake mechanism that constrains or prevents the rotation of the wave generator is installed. Since the empty space on the inside of the external gear is used as a space for installing the brake mechanism, the strain wave gearing with a brake can be realized without increasing the axial length thereof. Accordingly, by using the strain wave gearing, an axially short, flat actuator with a brake can be realized.

Abstract: A strain wave gearing is lubricated by a non-hydrophobized powder enclosed in an internal space until the strain wave gearing is fully broken in, and the non-hydrophobized powder is transferred to contact surfaces of contact parts to form a lubricating film. During operation under load, the strain wave gearing is lubricated by a hydrophobized powder enclosed in the internal space instead of the non-hydrophobized powder. Each of the powders used is a powder of an ionic crystalline compound (MoS2, WS2, etc.) having a layered crystal structure. By lubricating the strain wave gearing with the hydrophobized powder during operation under load, any temporary decrease in efficiency at the start of operation is minimized and stable operation of the strain wave gearing can be maintained.

Abstract: In a strain wave gearing, in order to regulate axial-direction movement of an externally toothed gear thereof, first balls are directly interposed between a first annular end surface and a device housing, whereby the first annular end surface and the device housing are in rolling contact with one another. Similarly, second balls, are directly interposed between a second annular end surface and an output shaft, whereby the second annular end surface and the output shaft are in rolling contact with one another. No contact occurs other than rolling contact of contact portions. Additionally, pressure is applied in the axial direction to the portions that make rolling contact, and axial-direction rattling is eliminated, whereby axial-direction movement of the externally toothed gear is reliably suppressed, and generation of high thrust force is prevented.

Abstract: A push-pull solenoid is provided with a cylindrical guide member that is fixed to a case. A circular outer peripheral surface of a plunger is in contact with a friction guide surface formed on a circular inner peripheral surface of the guide member, and slides along the friction guide surface. Frictional force due to contact with the friction guide surface is always acting on the plunger, so it is possible to suppress impact-like contact of the plunger with an object to be manipulated during suctioning, and vibration and noise caused thereby. Moreover, over-recovery and falling-out of the plunger after suction is released can also be prevented.
