Project Description: The proposal is based in a new technology invented by the team of the leader partner (Universidad Carlos III). The invention consists on a mechanism of a harmonic drive kind but based on magnetic/superconductor teeth gearing. This mechanism avoids wearing and contact between parts.
The mechanism will provide a very high reduction ratio and can be used in vacuum and cryogenic conditions.

Keywords: Harmonic drive, magneto mechanics, contact-less mechanisms, cryomechanisms, dry lubrication, mechanisms for space application
