Key Evaluation Matrix

MetricTypical RangeWhy It Matters
Gear Ratio8:1, 10:1 (Customizable)Balances speed reduction with back-drivability.
Peak TorqueUp to 300 NmEssential for jumps and heavy impact recovery.
Reflected InertiaNear-zeroEnables high-bandwidth force control and transparency.
Weight0.4kg - 3.5kgCritical for lightweight, dynamic legged locomotion.
Backlash (Arcmin)< 3 ArcminEnsures precision and eliminates dead-zones in control.

RFQ Checklist

  1. Define peak vs continuous torque
  2. Provide operating duty cycle and thermal limits
  3. Confirm preferred communication interface
  4. State annual volume and target price

Risk Controls

  • Thermal derating under load: Validate active/passive cooling scenarios early in pilot.
  • Control stack mismatch: Confirm CAN 2.0, CAN FD, RS485, EtherCAT, and MIT-style command requirements before sample release.
  • Mechanical envelope drift: Freeze STEP model, flange pattern, hollow-shaft clearance, and cable exit direction in the RFQ baseline.

QDD Integration Package

CAD, API, and Control Interface Data to Request

For robot joint motor evaluation, engineering teams usually need more than a torque number. Ask for the 3D envelope, mounting drawing, torque-speed curve, thermal derating notes, encoder protocol, and driver command reference in the first RFQ thread.

Data PackageTypical ContentsWhy Buyers Ask
CAD & mountingSTEP model, flange pattern, hollow-shaft clearance, cable exit direction.Confirms the joint can fit the hip, knee, ankle, or arm package before sample purchase.
Control interfaceCAN 2.0, CAN FD, RS485, EtherCAT option, MIT PVT control mode notes.Reduces firmware integration risk for force-control and high-node-count robot systems.
Validation dataTorque-speed curve, continuous torque boundary, thermal assumptions, backlash and backdrive notes.Lets engineering and procurement agree on sample acceptance criteria before the quote is frozen.

Buyer FAQ

Do you offer custom stator/rotor configurations?

Yes, we provide frameless variants with custom winding profiles.

Can you supply CAD, torque curves, and control notes?

Yes. For qualified RFQs we can share STEP envelopes, mounting drawings, torque-speed curves, thermal notes, and interface documentation.

What information is needed for a QDD actuator quote?

Share peak and continuous torque, duty cycle, gear ratio target, voltage, encoder/interface preference, mechanical envelope, sample quantity, and annual forecast.
