Strain Wave Gear vs. Cycloidal Drive: What is the Difference? (2026 Guide)
The key difference between Strain Wave Gears (Harmonic Drives) and Cycloidal Drives lies in precision versus robustness. Strain Wave Gears are compact and lightweight, offering true zero backlash for high-accuracy motion in limited spaces. Cycloidal Drives, in contrast, are built for strength, delivering high load capacity and durability in heavy-duty applications such as robot bases and large-axis systems.
