Selection checks for FSS20 Cup-Type Harmonic Reducer
Use these questions with the manufacturer’s current model sheet and your actual operating conditions.
- Compare 50, 80, 100, 120 or 160 ratio against its own rated torque at 2,000 rpm input; the five values are not interchangeable.
- Keep rated, start-stop and momentary torque separate. For the selected ratio, also check average input speed and the grease-lubricated maximum.
