The Micro Harmonic Drive gear, first invented in 2001 by Micromotion GmbH in co-operation with the Institute for Microtechnology in Mainz, Germany, is already successfully established in a wide variety of precise positioning applications in industrial machines. Based on experience gathered in terrestrial vacuum applications there are now first applications in space mechanisms. The miniature dimensions and low weight enable completely new design solutions for positioning actuators and mechanisms. The paper describes the developments made to qualify the Micro gear for space applications, including extensive tests with various different lubricants. The paper also describes in detail a practical application of the Micro gear in a camera under development by the DLR Institute for Interplanetary Research in Berlin, Germany.
