IntroductionThe HPJM-RE robot joint motor (PRO Series) integrates a harmonic drive, frameless torque motor, brake, dual encoders and an embedded drive unit in a compact housing to enable precise, repeatable joint motion for robotic applications. Typical supply voltage range is DC 24V–48V. Units are offered with customization options (brake, torque sensor, low-temperature operation, hollow-shaft sizes, communication protocol selection). Applications include industrial and collaborative robots, humanoids, semiconductor tooling, precision medical devices, photovoltaic and 3C/optical equipment.
Core Components- Power unit (Frameless torque motor): high torque density in a compact package, suited to dynamic loads.
- Harmonic drive: speed reduction and torque multiplication with near-zero backlash (backlash controlled within ~20 arcsec on selected models).
- Dual encoders (motor-side and output-side): enable full closed-loop control with repeat positioning accuracy ±10 arcsec.
- Temperature sensor: real-time monitoring of load and environment for safety and adaptive control.
- Embedded drive unit: supports EtherCAT and CANopen, enables dynamic PID tuning and modular control integration.
Features- Precision and near-zero backlash
- Zero‑backlash transmission eliminates traditional reducer clearance, delivering repeatability ~±10 arcsec and absolute positioning ~±30 arcsec for precision motion tasks (e.g., surgical robots, collaborative manipulators).
- 3D conjugate dual‑arc tooth profile design reduces vibration and noise, increases stiffness and service life for smoother motion.
- High integration, compactness and low weight
- Integrated harmonic drive and frameless motor provide a compact envelope ideal for space‑constrained joints (wrists, heads).
- Use of high‑strength aluminum alloys and carbon fiber in critical parts to reduce mass and improve energy efficiency.
- High transmission efficiency: >80% to minimize energy loss under dynamic loads.
- Safety and reliability
- Optional torque sensor for collision detection and drag‑teaching functions to support human‑robot collaboration.
- Impact resistance and long precision life (design target >10,000 hours) for industrial duty cycles.
- Intelligent control and modularity
- Embedded controller with multi‑protocol support (EtherCAT, CANopen) for easy integration and runtime PID adjustment.
- Modular interfaces for rapid installation and maintenance.
