Startup Torque in Harmonic Drive Gearboxes for SCARA Robots: Definition, Key Factors, and Selection Guide
In SCARA robots, 3C automation equipment, and precision assembly systems, harmonic drive gearboxes have become the preferred transmission solution thanks to their high precision, near-zero backlash, high reduction ratios, and compact design. When selecting a gearbox, engineers typically focus on parameters such as rated torque, reduction ratio, backlash, and torsional rigidity. However, one critical specification that is often overlooked is startup torque.
