The following operating positions “Wave Generator above” or “Wave Generator below” refer to the position of the Wave
Generator in relative to the output bearing of the Unit, see illustration 52.3.
5.5 Lubrication
5.5.1 Grease lubrication SHG-2UH
Harmonic Drive® SHG-2UH Units are delivered ready for immediate installation. They are supplied with lifetime lubricant which
is a high performance grease that meets the specific requirements of the Harmonic Drive® Gears based on strain wave gear
principle. It guarantees constant accuracy of the gears for their whole life. A re-lubrication of the Units is not necessary.
5.5.2 Grease Lubrication SHG-2SO and SHG-2SH
These units are delivered without lifetime lubrication. Before commissioning of the unit an initial lubrication has to be applied
by the customer. A recommendation for the lubricant type can be found at chapter 4.10.1. If any other grease is used this will be
indicated on the customer drawing. On delivery of SHG-2SO and -2SH Units as standard, Flexspline and Circular Spline teeth are
lubricated ready for use. Before mounting, the Wave Generator Bearing and the inner part of the Flexspline must be greased.
It may be necessary to place an additional amount of grease on the front face of the Wave Generator (see illustration 53.1).
Illustration 52.1 shows the areas requiring grease.
