Harmonic Drive

The document discusses harmonic drives, which were invented by C.W. Musser who held over 1,500 patents. Musser developed the harmonic drive to transmit power and motion in a faster and more accurate manner than traditional gear mechanisms. The harmonic drive uses elastic dynamics and the flexibility of metal to revolutionize force transmission compared to previous rigid gear systems.

1500 PATENTS IN MECHANICAL, PHYSISCS, CHEMISTRY AND BIOLOGY

PRIOR TO HIM EFFORTS HAVE BEEN TAKEN FOR INCREASING RIGIDITY OF GEAR MECHANISM.

WITH INTENTION OF : CONVEYING DRIVING POWER AND MOTION IN A FASTER AND MORE

ACCURATE MANNER THAN NORMAL DRIVE TRAINS.

MUSSER HARMONIC DRIVE IS BASED ON ELASTIC DYNAMICS AND IS ABOUT MAKING USE IF
