Abstract
A harmonic ring gear system can include at least one inner gear with external toothing, the at least one inner gear defining an axis of rotation; at least one outer gear with internal toothing arranged concentrically to the at least one inner gear about the axis of rotation, the internal toothing spaced apart from the external toothing; a pin ring positioned between the at least one inner gear and the at least one outer gear, the pin ring comprising a multiplicity of pins; and a rotary transmitter configured to lift a portion of the pins of the multiplicity of pins off the external toothing and press the portion of the pins into the internal toothing.

A harmonic ring gear system comprising:
- at least one inner gear with external toothing, the at least one inner gear defining an axis of rotation;
- at least one outer gear with internal toothing arranged concentrically to the at least one inner gear about the axis of rotation, the internal toothing spaced apart from the external toothing;
- a pin ring positioned between the at least one inner gear and the at least one outer gear, the pin ring comprising a multiplicity of pins;
- and
- a rotary transmitter configured to lift a portion of the pins of the multiplicity of pins off the external toothing and press the portion of the pins into the internal toothing.
A drive means comprising:
- a pin ring formed as one part in a circumferential direction, the pin ring extending around an axis of rotation, the pin ring being flexible;
- and
- a multiplicity of pins protruding laterally from two sides of the pin ring in an axial direction relative to the axis of rotation;
- and
- wherein an inward-facing surface of the drive means is configured to engage external toothing of an inner gear, and an outward-facing surface of the drive means is configured to engage internal toothing of an outer gear.
