4.1.2 Life of the Wave Generator Bearing
Given that the Harmonic Drive® Gear is rated to provide infinite fatigue life for the Flexspline, the life expectancy 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
mean L

bearing life.
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 20.2.
