1. A strain wave gearing system comprising:
a wave generator;
a rigid spline;
a flex spline disposed between the wave generator and the rigid spline, the flex spline comprising a first mating element; and
a coupling element comprising a second mating element;
wherein the coupling element and the flex spline are mated by cooperation of the first mating element and the second mating element so as to prevent rotational motion of the flex spline relative to the coupling element; and
wherein the first mating element is movable relative to the second mating element to thereby permit deformation of the flex spline relative to the coupling element.
