IntroductionThe TCHL Harmonic Joint Module integrates a torque sensor directly into the harmonic drive reducer and includes integrated cables and connectors for simplified robot wiring. The built‑in torque measurement enables precise actuator load detection and supports safer human–robot interaction through closed‑loop force and position control. The module is designed for compact, high‑integration applications where space, weight and reliable signal routing are critical.
Multiple Connection Methods- Double‑sided mounting
- Single‑sided mounting
- Bilateral through fixation
- Bottom mounting
- Radial fixation
- Rod fixation
Designer SpeakingDeveloped for embodied‑intelligence and compact robotic systems, TCHL provides comprehensive mounting interfaces while minimizing joint volume and mass. The output torque sensor is integrated without increasing size or weight, improving dynamic response and data quality. The result is lower integration complexity for adjacent components and easier system assembly.
