Nothing changed about Harmonic Drive SHA Series itself — these days are its maker's news:

  • 23 Sept Its maker's news lifted the score 0.53 — the board noticed.

One reading per day since 3 Aug, when the current ordering began. The rank above is the reading for 25 Sept, taken against 22 robots — the standing itself is live, so a robot added since then counts there and not here yet.

Overview

The Harmonic Drive SHA Series is a hollow-shaft AC servo actuator that combines a zero-backlash strain-wave gear with a brushless servomotor and encoder. It is designed for compact robot-joint and motion-control applications where high torque, high positioning accuracy, and a large center-through hole are important.
