Strain wave gearing device

In a strain wave gearing device, fine first and second lubricant-holding grooves for holding lubricant are formed at fine pitches in an outer-race external peripheral surface of a wave generator bearing and an outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion of an externally toothed gear in contact therewith. Fine lubricant-guiding grooves for guiding the lubricant to the outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion are formed at fine pitches in a second internal peripheral surface portion, which adjoins the outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion, of an internal peripheral surface of the externally toothed gear. This configuration improves the contact state between the outer-race-contacting internal peripheral surface portion of the externally toothed gear and the outer-race external peripheral surface, thus suppressing fretting wear occurring in these surfaces.
