4.1.2
Life of the Wave Generator Bearing
The life expectancy of a Harmonic Drive® Strain Wave Gear is based on the average life of the Wave Generator Bearing. The
rated torque at the rated speed given in the rating table is based on the nominal service life L
The life expectancy of a component set or an unit operating at an input speed n (rpm) and output torque T (Nm) may be
estimated from equation 32.2.
