Abstract:
A cup-type strain wave gearing having a unit structure and having: a stationary-side part including a unit housing and an internally toothed gear; a driving-side part including an output member and an externally toothed gear; and a sliding bearing supporting the stationary-side part and the driving-side part in the radial direction and the thrust direction in a state in which relative rotation is possible. The sliding bearing has a cylindrical bushing accommodated in a radial gap, and annular bushings accommodated respectively in thrust gaps. Thus, it is possible to provide an advantageous strain wave gearing having a unit structure that is more lightweight and compact than when a rolling bearing is used.
