现代科学技术的不断发展,对传动装置提出了更高的要求。为了满足这种要求,本世纪五十年代后期出现了一种高精度、大传动比、高效率、体积小、重量轻并可实现密封性传递的新型传动——谐波齿轮传动。发明者是美国的C.W.麦塞尔,他于1959年取得专利权,1960年谐波齿轮装置的实物在纽约展出。由于这种传动的优越性,它便很快引起世界各国的重视。许多国家都先后进 The continuous development of modern science and technology, the transmission put forward higher requirements. In order to meet this demand, a new type of transmission - harmonic gear drive with high precision, large transmission ratio, high efficiency, small size, light weight and hermetically sealed transmission appeared in the late 1950s. The inventor was C. W. Messer of the United States, who patented in 1959, and in the year 1960 the Harmonic gear was shown in New York. Because of the superiority of this kind of transmission, it will soon attract the attention of all countries in the world. Many countries have successively advanced
