Frictional wave reducer

A frictional wave reducer comprising:

• a wave generator having a conic pressurizing face on the outermost side;
• a toothless flex spline having a conic friction tube in which the wave generator is accommodated with the conic pressurizing face inscribed in the conic friction tube;
• a toothless circular spline accommodating the toothless flex spline and having an internal conic friction face in which the conic friction tube is inscribed at a plurality of axially symmetrical points to form an internal friction wheel with the toothless flex spline;
• a pulling means for pulling the wave generator in the axial direction to generate frictional force between the conic friction tube and the internal conic friction face,
• wherein the pulling means includes an extension shaft extending from the wave generator in the axial direction and passing through the center of the flex spline, a bearing rotatably supporting the extension shaft with respect to the flex spline, and a plug combined with the extension shaft to come into contact with the bearing to be supported in the axial direction;
• wherein an inner circumferential face of the plug and an outer circumferential face of the extension shaft are combined with each other through screw joining such that tension applied by the plug to the wave generator is controllable;
• and
• wherein the plug includes a hub having an inner circumferential face combined with the outer circumferential face of the extension shaft through screw joining, an elastic flange outwardly extending from an outer circumferential face of the hub, and a rim formed at an outer edge of the elastic flange and supported by the bearing through one edge in the axial direction, and the elastic flange is elastically deformed in an opposite axial direction in proportion to the tension through the hub.
