Aligning a Servo Motor to a Harmonic Drive: A Technician’s Custom Jig Solution
The Goal: Perfect Precision. The Problem: My Own Mistake. For my CNC project, I chose a Harmonic Drive (a type of strain wave reducer). Why? Because its unique mechanism—using a Circular Spline, a Flexspline, and a Wave Generator—provides near-zero backlash. This allows for the kind of ultra-precise angular control that other gear systems can’t touch….
