Nexen precision motion

Harmonic Gearheads

Zero-backlash strain-wave gearing in a unit up to 70% shorter than a standard gearhead. The HGP adds an integrated Roller Pinion – backlash-free from the motor right to the rack.

Why Harmonic Gearheads

Precision in Less Space

Zero Backlash

Strain-wave gearing, right to the motor.

Compact and Quiet

Less than half the length of high-ratio gearboxes.

Strong Output

Cross-roller bearing takes moment loads to 1,590 Nm.

With Pinion

HGP: ±25 µm linear accuracy, up to 13,836 N thrust.

Product finder

Find a Nexen Gearhead

Every gearhead in the Nexen catalogues. Search a product number or model, or narrow it down with the filters – then open a card for its dimensions and drawing.

Read from the Nexen “Air Champ” catalogue (21150). Torque marked “up to” is the series’ maximum, not that part’s rating; torque is static at 80 psi unless the catalogue says otherwise. Check the catalogue page before ordering, or ask Norman G Clark.
