The Foundation Cycloid Actuator is a high-performance cycloidal actuator designed for humanoid and industrial robotics. The cycloidal gear mechanism provides high reduction ratios in a compact form, minimal backlash, and exceptional overload resistance. The actuator integrates a BLDC motor, encoder, and control electronics in a compact housing, offering precise torque and velocity control.
Rotary Actuator · serves as: Joint Actuation.
Which group Foundation Cycloid Actuator belongs to and how it is built
A subcategory covering joint actuators — integrated drive units combining a motor, gearbox, encoder, and control electronics in a single module, used in the joints of robot limbs and torsos.
A rotary actuator is a component responsible for generating controlled rotational motion. It can be implemented as an electromechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic module, depending on the application. In robotics, rotary actuators are used in joints, positioning mechanisms, manipulator drives, and automation equipment where angular motion is required.
