  • Patent number: 12241536
    Abstract: A strain wave gearing system is includes: wave generator; a rigid spline; a flex spline disposed between the wave generator and the rigid spline; and a coupling element. The flex spline comprises a first mating element. The coupling element comprises a second mating element. The coupling element and the flex spline are mated by cooperation of the first mating element and the second mating element so as to prevent rotational motion of the flex spline relative to the coupling element. The first mating element is movable relative to the second mating element to thereby permit deformation of the flex spline relative to the coupling element.

  • Publication number: 20240295256
    Abstract: An actuator includes an input shaft, a wave generator, a pair of flex splines, a pair of earth annuli, and an output annulus. Each of the pair of flex splines are earthed to an earth annulus. The output annulus comprises a circular spline. The wave generator is configured to be activated by rotation of the input shaft, and the wave generator is configured to elastically deform both of the pair of flex splines when the input shaft activates the wave generator.
