2. Safety and Installation Instructions

Please take note of the information and instructions in this document. Specialy designed models may dier in technical detail. If in doubt, we strong recommend that you contact the manufacturer, giving the type designation and serial number for clarification.

2.1 Hazards

DANGER
Electric products have dangerous live and redating parts. All work during connection, operation, repair and disposal must be carried out by qualified personnel as described in the standards EN50110-1 and IEC 60364! Before starting any work, and especially before opening covers, the actuator must be properly isolated. In addition to the main circuits, the user also has to pay attention to any auxilliary circuits.
Observing the five safety rules:
• Disconnect mains
• Prevent reconnection
• Test for absence of harmful voltages
• Ground and short circuit
• Cover or close o nearby live parts
The measures taken above must only be withdrawn when the work has been completed and the device is fully assembled. Improper handling can cause damage to persons and property. The respective national, local and factory specific regulations must be adhered to.
DANGER
Electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields are dangerous, in particular for persons with pacemakers, implants or similiar. Vulnerable groups must not be in the immediate vicinity of the products themselves.
DANGER
Built-in holding brakes alone are not functional safe. Particularly with unsupported vertical axes, the functional safety and security can only be achieved with additional, external mechanical brakes.
WARNING
The successful and safe operation of gears, products requires proper transport, storage and assembly as well as correct operation and maintenance.
ATTENTION
The surface temperature of gears, motors and actuators can exceed 55 degrees Celsius. The hot surfaces should not be touched.
51019658 11/2014
ADVICE
Movement and lifting of products with a mass > 20 Kg should only be carried out with suitable lifting gear.
ADVICE
Cables must not come into direct contact with hot surfaces.
INFORMATION
Special versions of drive systems and motors may have diering specifications. Please consider all data sheet, catalogues and oers etc. sent concerning these special versions.

2.2 Intended Purpose

The Harmonic Drive® products are intended for industrial or commercial applications. They comply with the relevant parts of the harmonised EN 60034 standards series.
Typical areas of application are robotics and handling, machine tools, packaging and food machines and similar machines.
The products may only be operated within the operating ranges and environmental conditions shown in the documentation (altitude, degree of predection, temperature range etc). Before plant and machinery which have Harmonic Drive® products built into them are commissioned, the compliance must be established with the Machinery Directive, Low Voltage Directive and EMC guidelines.
Plant and machinery with inverter driven motors must satisfy the predection requirements in the EMC guidelines. It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that installation is undertaken correctly. Signal and power lines must be shielded. The EMC instructions from the inverter manufacturer must be observed in order that installation meets the EMC regulations.

2.3 Non Intended Purpose

The use of products outside the areas of application mentioned above or, inter alia, other than in the operating areas or environmental conditions described in the documentation is considered as non-intended purpose.
ADVICE
The following areas of application are, inter alia, those considered as non-intended purpose:
• Aerospace
• Areas at risk of explosion
• Machines specially constructed or used for a nuclear purpose whose breakdown might lead to the emission of radio-activity
• Vacuum
• Machines for domestic use
• Medical equipment which comes into direct contact with the human body
• Machines or equipment for transporting or lifting people
• Special devices for use in annual markets or leisure parks
6 1019658 11/2014

2.4 Declaration of Conformity

Harmonic Drive® gears are components for installation in machines as defined by the machine directive 89/392/EWG. Commissioning is prohibited until such time as the end product has been proved to conform to the provisions of this directive.
Essential health and safety requirements were considered in the design and manufacture of these gear component sets. This simplifies the implementation of the machinery directive by the end user for the machinery or the partly completed machinery. Commissioning of the machine or partly completed machine is prohibited until the final product conforms to the EC Machinery Directive.

3. Technical Description

3.1 Product Description

Compact with largest hollow shaft
HFUS-2A Series Component Sets are available in nine sizes with gear ratios of 30, 50, 80, 100, 120 and 160:1 oering repeatable peak torques from 9 to 1840 Nm and a power density of up to 384 Nm/kg.
If required, the Component Sets are available as specific configurations tailored to your application, including special lubricants for extended temperature ranges or special materials for extreme ambient conditions. Consisting of just three individual components, they are very lightweight and compact.
The enlarged hollow shaft can be used to feed through supply lines, shafts or cables for further axes. Due to their positioning accuracy stable machine properties with short cycle times are guaranteed.

4.1 Selecting Harmonic Drive® Gears

When choosing a gear, both torque as well as stiness requirements should be take into account. In robot applications, for example, the necessary torque is the more crucial factor for the gear size, while the torsional stiness is often decisive in machine tool applications. We therefore recommend that you always take both criteria into account according to the following procedures.
