Patent ID: 11891927

Abstract:
A harmonic drive includes an internally toothed housing element (2), a pot-shaped output element (4) which is mounted in the housing element (2), and a likewise pot-shaped, resilient drive element (19) which is connected to the output element (4) and has an external toothing system (13) which meshes with the internal toothing system (14) of the housing element (2). A spring element (35) is active between the housing element (2) and the output element (4), which spring element (35) is arranged in an annular chamber which is delimited radially to the inside by a sleeve section (24) of the resilient drive element (19), radially to the outside by a cylindrical section (5) of the output element (4), and in the axial direction firstly by an annular disc-shaped surface (23) of the housing element (2) and secondly by a bottom (9) of the output element (4).
