Harmonic Drive Systems describes the core strain-wave components as wave generator, flexspline, and circular spline, including the flexspline as a thin-walled steel cup and the circular spline as a rigid internally toothed steel ring.
Limitations: Vendor product-principle evidence; useful for component structure and supplier capability, not proof of target-cell adoption or current market share.

Describes strain-wave gear components including wave generator, flexspline, and circular spline, and explains zero-backlash precision behavior relevant to robot joint reducers.
Limitations: Vendor educational source; supports reducer architecture but not neutral cost, fatigue, field failure, or local supplier evidence.
