Why BLDC Harmonic Joint Motors Are the Core Components of Robots？BLDC stands for brushless direct current motor. It uses electronic commutation instead of physical brushes and a commutator. The harmonic reducer is responsible for power transmission and reduction in joint motors. To match the high-precision, zero-backlash characteristics of harmonic reducers, most harmonic joint motors use BLDC motors.
Harmonic Joint Motor VS Planetary Joint MotorWhen collaborative robots precisely pick up chips, AGVs shuttle smoothly through shelves, or surgical robots perform millimeter-level operations, few people notice that the joint motor contains a "power heart" that determines its performance—the reducer. Among them, harmonic reducers and planetary reducers are two mainstream technical solutions, and their differences directly affect the precision, lifespan, and applicable scenarios of the joint motors.
HATF Series Large Hollow Flange Harmonic Rotary ActuatorThe HONPINE HATF Large Hollow Flange Harmonic Rotary Actuator features a hollow design, which facilitates internal cabling and device integration. The product is equipped with a high-precision encoder and can be customized with an IP67 waterproof rating. It is widely applicable in industries such as precision CNC machine tools, 3C equipment, precision laser processing, inspection equipment, printing equipment, medical devices, glass polishing equipment, robotic arms, AGVs, and mobile camera gimbals.- The robot end effector of the robotic arm is crucial for achieving highly automated handling of workpieces.Robotic grippers, also known as end effectors, are robotic components mounted at the end of the robotic arm (EOA) that make contact with workpieces, functioning similarly to a human hand. The end of the robotic arm (EOA) includes not only mechanical interfaces but also electrical or pneumatic components such as connection cables and wiring.
- How to Choose a Robotic Rotary Actuator? HONPINE’s Built-In Driven Rotary Actuator Offers Significant AdvantagesThe HONPINE built-in driven rotary actuator is a highly integrated modular joint module that enables flexible assembly of multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arms and serves as a core component for building robotic internal structures.
- Which is Better for Joint Modules: Single or Dual Encoders?In humanoid robot joint modules, the motor is the core component that drives joint movement, while the encoder serves as the "eyes" of the motor, providing real-time feedback on its position, speed, and other critical data. Depending on the number of encoders used, motors can be categorized as single-encoder or dual-encoder types, each with its own advantages in terms of functionality and application.
How to Choose Precison Rotary Actuators for CNC Machine Tools and RobotsSince commencing production of rotary actuators in 2018, HONPINE has continuously grown and refined its product categories based on the diverse application fields of its customers. This article introduces HONPINE's two major series of rotary actuators: HPG and HAG.

HONPINE Harmonic Drive’s Backdriveability Enables Technological Breakthroughs in Multiple FieldsTo achieve safe, compliant, and flexible human-robot collaboration—ensuring environmental adaptability and operator comfort—merely obtaining torque feedback from the robot/environment is insufficient. High backdrivability in robots/integrated joint modules is often essential. HONPINE harmonic drives provide new opportunities in human-robot interaction through superior backdrivability.
Why harmonic joint modules are still the mainstream of integrated joint modulesIn the field of robotics, joint modules serve as core components that determine a robot's flexibility, stability, and operational capability, directly affecting its overall performance and usage costs. Currently, harmonic drive joint modules remain the most mainstream solution in the market.- Ultra-Small Harmonic Drive – Precision Manufacturing with High-End MaterialsHONPINE’s SHD and CSF series of ultra-small harmonic drives mark a breakthrough in compact harmonic drive technology.

How to set the maximum current limit for the robot joint moduleDuring the operation of a robot joint module, properly setting the maximum current limit is crucial for ensuring stable operation and extending its service life. This article details how to set the maximum current limit for the joint module via the driver software.- HONPINE single- and dual-encoder robot joint modules are compatible with communication protocols such as CAN, CANopen, and EtherCATIn the field of robot joint modules, encoders are crucial components, and communication protocols are the "language" that enables encoders to work efficiently with other devices. Our joint modules support both single and dual encoders and are compatible with multiple communication protocols, including CAN, CANopen, and EtherCAT.
