Design of wave gear transmissions with disc and cam wave generators

In the 70-90s of the last century, wave gear transmissions in our country were widely used in various drives of the control systems, robotic devices and special drives; besides, they were mass-produced for drives in the general engineering purposes. During that period, significant research was carried out on various issues of the theory of design and practice of using such gears. It was explained by the fact that wave gear transmissions were having small overall dimensions and weight with high values of the efficiency and kinematic accuracy. With their help, it was easier to transfer rotational motion into the sealed space, which was required in space, nuclear and other technologirs. The failure in Russia’s economic development in the 90s of the last century could not but affect the state of affairs in industry and science. Currently, a course was taken towards innovations in developing the country’s scientific and industrial potential. Applied science and results of its activities became of great importance for its implementation. The paper presents a methodology for calculating and designing a wave gear transmission with disk and cam wave generators with flexible bearings.
