    Human Robot Harmonic Joint Module with Torque Sensor and Integrated Cable Connector

    The TCHL Harmonic Joint Module is a harmonic joint module that integrates a torque sensor directly into the harmonic drive reducer. The torque sensor enables precise measurement of the drive system’s operating status and required torque values, allowing accurate load detection of the actuator. This helps prevent overload and enables safer human–robot interaction.
    The module features fully integrated cables and connectors, allowing fast, precise component connections and enabling safe, responsive motion control through a highly integrated design.

     Cobots Robot Arm T type Harmonic Rotary Joint Module

    Cobots Robot Arm T type Harmonic Rotary Joint Module

    The T-type harmonic joint module is a highly integrated robotic joint unit that combines a harmonic reducer, torque motor, precision sensors, brake, and driver. It is called “T-type” because the output flange is perpendicular to the motor shaft, forming a T-shaped layout ideal for rotary robot joints.
    Designed for collaborative robots, the module simplifies development by integrating key components into one compact, plug-and-play unit. This greatly shortens the development cycle, lowers costs, and makes building a robotic arm almost as easy as assembling LEGO blocks. Its high integration also improves maintenance efficiency and expands the applicability of robotic-arm technology.

    The joint module achieves highly optimized volume and weight through fully integrated components including harmonic reducer, frameless torque motor, brake, encoder and driver, enabling precise motion control with greater torque output, higher accuracy, more compact size and lighter weight. We also provide customized solutions to meet specific requirements for personalized applications and special operating environments, with the most common customizations being waterproof versions (resistant to water splashes, sprays or underwater operation up to 1 meter depth) and low-temperature adaptations. This waterproof joint module is specifically designed for special robots operating underwater, developed as an enhanced version of our standard joint module with dedicated improvements to address waterproofing challenges in robotic joints.

    Large Hollow Bore Harmonic Drive Rotary Actuator Large Hollow Bore Harmonic Drive Rotary Actuator

    Large Hollow Bore Harmonic Drive Rotary Actuator

    The large hollow bore rotary actuator typically integrates an internal rotor frameless torque motor with components such as a harmonic drive reducer, absolute encoder, and customized large hollow bore harmonic drive unit to form a complete rotary actuator assembly. Its control unit (drive system) is usually externally mounted, enabling high-precision motion control for connected equipment. Compared to standard rotary actuators, this series features a larger hollow bore diameter, allowing passage of lead screws, cables, and other components. It is designed for applications requiring large through-bore space, high precision, and compact integration, such as machine tool rotary tables, precision medical devices, 5-axis laser cutting systems, and semiconductor equipment.

    High Speed Impact Resistance Compact Lightweight Planetary Joint Module High Speed Impact Resistance Compact Lightweight Planetary Joint Module

    High Speed Impact Resistance Compact Lightweight Planetary Joint Module

    The Standard Planetary Joint Module is a core component of robotic power systems. Through highly integrated design combining a planetary reducer, frameless torque motor, brake, encoder, and driver, it achieves significant optimization in volume and weight, enabling precise motion control of the joint. This results in greater torque, smaller size, and lighter weight. Compared to harmonic joint modules, the planetary joint module features a smaller reduction ratio, higher output speed, and greater torque density, making it more suitable for medium-to-low load applications. We also provide customization services tailored to clients’ specific requirements.
    With core advantages such as high-speed performance, impact resistance, and compact lightweight design, the Standard Planetary Joint Module has become the preferred solution for high-load drives in humanoid robots, specialized robots, logistics AGVs, and industrial automation, driving advancements in robotic performance and broader application scenarios.
