In space environment and complex working conditions, the harmonic drive is prone to performance degradation. The traditional performance analysis method cannot reveal the interaction among the factors. In this paper, a mathematical model of multifactor interaction analysis is built to analyze transmission performance of efficiency, stiffness, and starting torque in various temperature, vacuum, speed and torque. And the high performance gear transmission platform is independently designed and developed. The experimental research and mechanism analysis are carried out on the starting torque, stiffness and efficiency of the harmonic drive. Research shows that the multifactor interaction has an important impact on the transmission performance of harmonic drive. The approach provides some guidance for the application of harmonic drive in space.
