As to harmonic speed reducer, torque and torsion are actually the same concept while they are customarily called differently. Compared with ordinary reducer, harmonic speed reducer has large torque.
1. Torsion of harmonic speed reducer
Torsion is the basic load form of the transmission shaft of various working machinery, which is closely related to the working capacity, energy consumption, efficiency, operating life and safety performance of power machinery. The measurement of the torsion of harmonic speed reducer is of great significance to the determination and control of transmission shaft load, the strength design of working parts of transmission system, and the selection of prime mover capacity.
2. Torque of harmonic speed reducer
Torque is a special moment of force that makes objects rotate. When the power is fixed, it is inversely proportional to the speed. The faster the speed is, the smaller the torque is. Vice versa. The external torque is called torsion or external force couple torque, and the internal torque is called internal force couple torque or torque.
The force couple or torque that makes the machine components rotate (including the tendency to rotate) is called rotational torque (torque for short). Under the action of torque, any element must produce some degree of torsional deformation (including elastic deformation and plastic deformation). Therefore, it is customary to call the rotational torque as torsional torque, or torque for short. The two can be mixed in any field. However, the torque of harmonic speed reducer is more commonly used in engineering technology.
