Operating conditions

What decides the specification

  • 01Torque density inside a limbA humanoid joint has a fixed envelope dictated by the limb diameter. Every extra millimetre of actuator radius adds mass that the next joint must lift.
  • 02Backdrivability and force controlWalking and manipulation require the joint to sense and yield to external force. High reduction ratios and stiff gear trains hide the load from the motor current.
  • 03Cable routing through moving jointsPower, encoder and bus cabling must pass through joints that rotate continuously. Without a hollow path, harness life becomes the limiting factor.

Solution

How the drive is engineered for humanoid robots

  • S-01

    Integrated joint modules

    The YF-RBT-J80 combines a frameless torque motor, harmonic stage, absolute encoder and drive electronics in one 80 mm sealed housing with a 22 mm hollow shaft.

  • S-02

    Quasi-direct-drive options

    For knee and ankle joints, the YF-RBT-EX120 uses a 9:1 planetary stage with integrated torque sensing, keeping the joint backdrivable and impact tolerant.

  • S-03

    Coreless motors for hands

    The YF-RBT-CL16 ironless motor has zero cogging torque and very low rotor inertia, allowing smooth, low-force finger control in multi-axis robotic hands.
