Planetary Joint Module
High torque, high rigidity, impact-tolerant — the heavy-duty choice for load-bearing and propulsion joints
The RoBox Planetary Joint Module is built for high loads and fast dynamic response — motor, planetary gearbox, dual encoders, and drive in one unit, ready to install. Outer diameters span 42–150 mm across 14 standard models, with 3–112 N·m continuous torque (up to 160 N·m at 20-minute duty) and up to 500 N·m intermittent. A dependable choice for humanoid lower limbs and other heavy-duty axes.

1. High Torque Density Motor
High torque density motor
  1. High peak torque density (>220Nm/kg) tailored for high-dynamic humanoid legs and quadruped joint bursts.
  2. Industrial-grade shock-resistant winding, built for rapid acceleration and reversal.
  3. Optimized air-gap diameter delivering maximum continuous torque and rapid transient response.

2. Precision Planetary Gearbox
Precision planetary gearbox
  1. Heavy-duty precision ground planetary gears with ≤1–3 arcmin backlash and high torsional stiffness.
  2. Impact-resistant design withstands up to 500 N·m peak shock torque during jumping or sudden stops.
  3. Ultra-high efficiency (≥95%) ensuring lower heat dissipation and extended battery life.

3. Dual Absolute Encoders
Dual absolute encoders
  1. Vibration-hardened structural encoder design preventing signal dropouts under severe mechanical shocks.
  2. Dual absolute feedback (17–19 bit) with angular repeatability within ±40″.
  3. Shielded magnetic encoding immune to high-current stator magnetic interference.

4. Integrated FOC Drive
Integrated FOC drive
  1. High-power drive supporting 48V/72V dual-voltage systems for maximal power throughput.
  2. High-precision phase current sensing with sub-millisecond torque response (<1ms).
  3. Multi-layered hardware protections against over-current, over-voltage, and thermal overload.

5. Fail-Safe Holding Brake
Fail-safe brake
  1. High-holding-torque brake matching the high payload output without mechanical slippage.
  2. Fail-safe security maintains structural holding power for humanoid robots during total power failure.
  3. Wear-resistant friction lining engineered for frequent emergency stops (E-Stops).

Selection Notes

  • No through-bore: OD4250 / OD5553 / OD6345 / OD7067 / OD8567
  • With through-bore (8–15 mm): the other 9 models, for running cables through the axis
  • Supply voltage: 48 VDC only: OD4250 / OD5553 / OD6345; 72 VDC only: OD7067 / OD10483.5 (V1) / OD12588 (V1) / OD150100; 48/72 VDC on the other 7 models
  • Communication: most models run CAN/CAN-FD; some add EtherCAT; one model is CAN-FD only — see the datasheet for per-model support
  • Full specs: per-model details (ratio / torque / phase current / dimensions) in the complete datasheet
