Harmonic Drive LLC announces new ratios for CSD and SHD
The ultra-flat, zero backlash CSD precision component sets are available with standard hollow bore or an oversized (BB) hollow shaft. CSD and SHD zero-backlash gear units are housed gears available in versatile designs such as hollow shaft and lightweight.
Peabody, MA -Harmonic Drive LLC, a leader in high precision motion control announces the addition of 80:1 and 120:1 reduction ratios for CSD and SHD zero-backlash gears. The addition of these new ratios enhance the already successful product lines.
The ultra-flat, zero backlash CSD precision component sets are available with standard hollow bore or an oversized (BB) hollow shaft. CSD and SHD zero-backlash gear units are housed gears available in versatile designs such as hollow shaft and lightweight. Select the size, configuration and ratio that is right for you.
Three Product Types:
Ultra-flat component set (CSD-2A)
Housed gear units (CSD-2UH/UF, SHD-2UH-LW)
Simplicity gear units (SHD-2SH)
Component Sets
Harmonic Drive® precision component sets are the core motion control mechanisms. These zero backlash products offer the widest design flexibility. Products can be selected which offer the optimum dimension and performance based on the available volume within the customer-designed housing. High Torque, Ultra Flat, and Hollow Shaft Options are available. These high accuracy gearing components are often used as the core building block for custom high performance servo actuators and motion control mechanisms. Customer-supplied servo motors can be easily integrated into the design
Gear Units
Gear units are housed zero backlash Harmonic Drive® component gears combined with a precision cross roller output bearing & flange. Gear Units are very compact, robust and easy to use gearhead/gearbox solution. Our Simplicity Gear Units are Non-housed component gearing combined with a precision cross roller output bearing. Simplicity Gear Units do not include the housing and output flange, which allows for even tighter integration into the customers housing or machine structure
Simplicity Gear Units
Our Simplicity Gear Units are Non-housed component gears combined with a precision cross roller output bearing. Simplicity Gear Units do not include the housing and output flange, which allows for even tighter integration into the customers housing or machine structure. Axially compact, they feature a large hollow input shaft and a robust cross roller bearing so loads can be mounted directly to the unit without the need for additional support bearings.
With the addition of the 80-:1 and 120:1 ratios for these product lines, it is even easier than ever to find the exact speed reducer to optimize your project.

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances
IDS Imaging Development Systems offers a range of models, from a webcam-like camera in industrial quality to a tiny autofocus camera that weighs just12 grams. The 13 MP autofocus camera uEye XC closes the market gap between industrial cameras and webcams. Setting up and operating only requires a cable connection. After that, the autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the optionally available, quickly exchangeable macro lens, users can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it also suitable for close-up applications. Focus from a distance of just 10 cm. The uEye XS is even more compact and fits into almost any application with its size of just 26.4 x 23 x 21.7 mm. Thanks to its autofocus and 5 MP CMOS sensor, it delivers consistently sharp images and videos from a distance of just 10 cm. When it comes to image quality, natural color reproduction and harmonious contrast are also decisive factors. IDS has therefore equipped the uEye XS with many other practical automatic features familiar from consumer technology. This includes white balance, exposure and gain. As a result, it delivers the best possible result in every situation.
