Harmonic Drive’s Gearhead Selector Tool can be conveniently launched from the home page of our gearhead website, www.harmonicdrivegearhead.com, to find the correct gearhead or motor to fit your needs. Harmonic Drive’s Gearhead Selector Tool can be conveniently launched from the home page of our gearhead website, www.harmonicdrivegearhead. com. While registration is not mandatory to access the application, it is required to download results. It’s a few short data fields (email address, company name, state, country) but well worth the ability to download solid models and dimensioned drawings. Once in the application, the user is prompted to begin motor and gearhead selection, and not necessarily in that order. Should it be preferential to start with a motor selection, the software will provide drop down menus with manufacturer and model number options. Bus Voltage is also a part of the motor selection process as this helps define the specific speed/torque curve for which sizing calculations are based. When a motor selection is finalized, the application pres- ents a list of available gearheads suitable for that motor selection. Primarily, this list is filtered in two ways; the im- pact of reduction ratio on the speed/torque characteristics of the motor and the motor face dimensions as it relates to the available range of gearhead input flange sizes. Starting with gearhead selection is also a popular method of sizing us an actuator. This option presents the entire gearhead database and allows for easy filtration by product series, torque ranges, reduction ratio, speed ranges and a host of other filterable parameters, such as, frame size, rated torque L10, backlash, backdriving torque, torsional rigidity, transmission accuracy, tilting moment stiffness, and permissible radial and axial loading. A utility allowing gearhead product comparisons is also built into the tool. This allows users to list ratings, side by side, on a multitude of gearheads simultaneously, making ultimate product selection easier. When a motor is paired with a gearhead, the application will present cautionary notes about potential speed or torque limitation require- ments on the motor due to torque amplification through the reduction ratio. The software can use either metric or imperial units of measure and resultant product configurations can be saved to pdf, printed, or emailed. Downloading of product catalogs, assembly instructions and solid models and dimensioned drawings can all be accomplished from the tool. And a chat/phone call facility is also available on the page to allow for live engagement with a sales engineer. 42 Dunham Ridge, Beverly, MA 01915 www.harmonicdrivegearhead.com Quickly filter through a wide range of configurations, ratios and torque ratings to find the right product for your needs at www.harmonicdrivegearhead.com.
