1. High-Torque Frameless Torque Motor
- Ultra-flat frameless architecture saving 20% axial length for compact joint designs.
- Large hollow shaft design allows direct pass-through for power/signal cables, eliminating wire entanglement during 360° rotation.
- High-saturation magnetic steel for low thermal rise and >92% efficiency.
2. Ultra-Compact Harmonic Gear Reducer
- Precision ground gearing with ultra-low backlash (≤12–20 arcsec) for arcsecond repeatability.
- Ultra-smooth flexspline transmission with low operational noise (<65dB) and minimal vibration.
- Maintenance-free design with a long service life rating for reliable, uninterrupted operation.
3. High-Precision Dual Absolute Encoders
- Dual-loop full closed-loop feedback (motor & load side) to actively compensate for mechanical hysteresis.
- Up to 24-bit + 24-bit dual absolute encoder (EtherCAT); instant position recognition upon power-up without homing.
- Enhanced EMI immunity for stable operation in noise-heavy industrial environments.
4. Integrated FOC Ring Driver
- Embedded ultra-thin annular FOC driver eliminates external control cabinets.
- Triple-loop control (Position/Velocity/Torque) enabling active compliance and real-time collision detection.
- Native support for EtherCAT & CANopen with control loop frequencies up to 1kHz.
5. Low-Noise Permanent-Magnet Holding Brake (Optional)
- Fail-Safe electromagnetic hold: Instant power-off locking to prevent payload drop and protect equipment.
- Rapid response (<15ms) with an ultra-thin profile that adds zero extra axial bulk.
- Zero-backlash hold prevents residual vibration in locked state.
Key Features
| Precision, low backlash | ≤12–20 arcsec, stable and accurate, suited to precise positioning and force control |
| Large through-bore across the range | 6–24 mm hollow bore; cables run straight through the joint, keeping the build clean |
| Slim, axially compact form | saves installation space (most pronounced in the ODF force-control series) |
| Fully integrated | motor, harmonic reducer, dual encoders, and drive in one housing; compact and reliable, ready to run |
| Multiple control modes | position, velocity, torque, and hybrid position-force control |
| Optional brake | power-off engaged, for safe holding |
| Force-control feature (ODF series) | force-sensor ready for accurate force control and compliant motion |
| Flexible cable exit | side-entry / direct-plug connectors (OD45 uses flying leads) |
| Fieldbus options | CAN/CAN-FD on OD45; CAN/CAN-FD/EtherCAT on the rest; CANopen and CANMIT supported |
Applications — for joints where precision, weight, and clean wiring matter most
- Humanoid robot upper limbs: shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints that need fine, accurate motion
- Collaborative robot arms: lightweight, safety-oriented joints for working alongside people
- Medical and rehabilitation equipment: surgical robots and rehab exoskeletons, where precision and safety are non-negotiable
- R&D and education robots: experimental platforms that need fast builds and tight control
- Other precision rotary axes: anywhere a through-bore and a slim footprint help
