Selection checks for WSHD Hollow Strain Wave Gearbox
Use these questions with the manufacturer’s current model sheet and your actual operating conditions.
- Match the 14, 17, 20 or 25 frame and 50 or 100 ratio to the model row; rated torque is specified at 2,000 rpm input.
- Do not substitute start-stop or momentary torque for rated torque. Check average and maximum input speeds for the chosen size.
