From collaborative robot joints to AGV drives — precision motors for every robotic application.
Robotic systems demand motors that deliver consistent performance across millions of cycles. Whether you're designing a 6-axis robot arm, a delta-style pick-and-place system, or an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV), the motor is the most performance-critical component in your drivetrain.
Key requirements for robotic motors include low cogging torque for smooth motion, high torque density to minimize weight, built-in encoder compatibility for closed-loop control, and broad speed range with consistent torque throughout.
BLDC motors are the dominant choice for robotic joints due to their high efficiency, long service life, and excellent power-to-weight ratio. Coreless DC motors excel in lightweight end-effectors and grippers where inertia matters. Gear motors provide the torque multiplication needed for heavy-load joints.
Servo-class BLDC motors with integrated encoders, planetary gearboxes for high-ratio reduction, and low-backlash transmission. Recommended: Maxon EC-i series, Nanotec BL110.
High-efficiency gear motors for drive wheels, coreless motors for steering, BLDC for traction. Needs wide voltage range, encoder feedback, and regenerative braking capability.
Coreless and miniature brushed DC motors for lightweight, fast-response gripper applications. Low inertia is essential — coreless design eliminates iron losses.
BLDC servo motors with planetary gearboxes are the industry standard for robot arm joints. The combination of high torque density, precise encoder feedback, and long service life makes them ideal. For joints 4-6 (wrist axes), coreless motors reduce inertia significantly.
For closed-loop position and velocity control — yes. Most robot joints require absolute or incremental encoders with 512CPR minimum. We supply motors with matched encoder options; 1000–4096CPR is recommended for high-precision joints.
24V is the most common bus voltage for small to mid-size robots (cobot payloads up to 10kg). 48V is increasingly standard for larger collaborative robots and industrial arms due to lower current at the same power, reducing cable size and thermal losses.
Yes. We offer D-cut, keyway, dual shaft, and custom-length shaft options on most models. MOQ for custom shaft configurations starts at 10 pieces with 3–4 week lead time.
