Ultra Compact Products

Harmonic Drive is your one-stop headquarters for miniature speed reducer products designed for applications requiring smaller, space-saving components. These devices decrease a motor's rotational speed while increasing output torque and generating zero backlash. Options include mini compact gearheads and miniature actuators.

Miniature Gearheads Miniature Actuators Why Choose Us for a Miniature Speed Reducer?

Our mini gearheads are the ideal choice in confined areas where maximum precision is essential. Key features include a compact four-point contact ball bearing mounted to the main shaft, outline dimensions up to 13 mm and precision-matched motors and encoders. Choose from five sizes, four ratios and flange or shaft outputs.

Typical applications for these small gear reducer components include:

  • Robotics: These gearheads can provide precise manipulation in smaller robotic joints and actuators.
  • Semiconductors: Manufacturers of semiconductor chips and other products use miniature gearheads in high-precision positioning systems and wafer-handling applications.
  • Medical devices: Mini compact gearheads are essential when manufacturing medical equipment such as micro-surgical tools, implants and surgical robots due to their compact design and maximum precision.
  • Aerospace: Aircraft manufacturers use small gearheads for landing gear and other components. Dental: Drills and various small dental instruments often include mini gearheads because of their smaller size.
