Robots have always been called "the jewel at the top of the manufacturing crown". Today, robots have been widely used in various industries and engaged in various jobs.
This is due to countless engineers and scientists tirelessly creating, improving, and in some cases redefining robotics. "Precision reducer" is one of the most critical and core parts of the robot.
Established in 2011, Leader Harmonious Drive Systems Co., Ltd has been focusing on the research and development of precision transmission devices such as harmonic reducers since its establishment. After years of hard work and independent research and development, Leaderdrive took the lead in mastering the core technology. The realization of the complete independent production of harmonic reducers is of great significance to promoting the independent development of the domestic robot industry. In August 2020, Leaderdrive was listed on the Science and Technology Innovation Board.
On October 16, Leader Harmonious Drive Systems Co., Ltd held the 2020 new product launch conference in Suzhou. The event was organized by the Lide Robotics Platform (Robot Lecture Hall), Professor Ding Han, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, China Robot Industry Song Xiaogang, executive director of the alliance, and more than ten top industry experts, Rong Deming, executive deputy mayor of Wuzhong District Committee of Suzhou City, Liu Yeming, party secretary of Mudu Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou, and several government representatives, as well as nearly a hundred domestic and foreign Leaderdrive customers came to the scene and witnessed the fact that Leaderdrive has entered a new stage.

Break the monopoly, DNG flexible bearing new product release
At the site, Leaderdrive also released three new products at the same time, namely DNG non-fatigue flexible bearings, "Cyclone" series rotary actuators and M-work edge management system, showing strong continuous research and development capabilities.
Zhang Yuwen, deputy general manager of Leaderdrive, first introduced the first new product-DNG non-fatigue flexible bearings to the audience. Zhang Yuwen emphasized that DNG flexible bearings came from customer needs. Initially, in order to meet the high speed and high response requirements of SCARA robots, they obtained inspiration and innovation breakthrough points from SCARA robots with fast speed, short acceleration and deceleration time, and overload requirements. After a lot of tests, Leaderdrive found that under the same load conditions, the SCARA robot harmonic reducer flexible bearing inner ring receives more impacts than other operating conditions, and the impact load is greater. Inner ring fatigue is its service life shortboard.
Therefore, in view of the mechanism and characteristics of the fatigue failure of the flexible bearing inner ring, Leaderdrive adjusted the alloy element ratio of the bearing material through long-term exploration and research and adopted a new heat treatment and strengthening process to produce the latest fatigue-free DNG flexible bearings. The new DNG flexible bearings are more impact resistant and have a longer service life.
It is worth noting that in order to verify the reliability of the product, Leaderdrive has undergone a lot of tests and comparison experiments. By simulating the running state of the SCARA robot, under the same nearly 3 times load and motor acceleration test conditions of 6000r/min, the green LHSG series reducer using DNG flexible bearings were tested against foreign competitors for thousands of hours, and then the flexible bearings were tested. Analysis and comparison found that, regardless of surface fatigue, subsurface fatigue or near-surface fatigue, the Leaderdrive DNG flexible bearing is significantly better than the flexible bearing of the well-known foreign brand harmonic reducer.
The data and experimental results also prove that the latest DNG flexible bearing of Leaderdrive has undergone a large number of performance tests and bench tests to verify that there is no fatigue on the surface and subsurface of the inner ring raceway of the bearing after overspeed, overload, and long-term operation. Cracks, almost fatigue-free bearings. It shows the excellent impact resistance, fatigue-free and long-life performance of DNG flexible bearings.
