Flat BLDC Motors and Joint Drives

Product Overview

SigGear supplies flat motor and integrated joint-drive solutions for robots, exoskeletons and compact automation systems.

The standard flat joint-drive families are distinguished by their transmission structure:

  • SigGear-Horse: planetary transmission core
  • SigGear-Tiger: cycloidal-pinwheel transmission core

These products are intended for applications that require a short axial package and integrated mechanical and electrical functions. Final motor, reducer, driver, encoder and communication configurations are confirmed for the selected model and quotation.

Standard Product Families

Product family Transmission structure Catalog configuration
SigGear-Horse Planetary Driver-equipped configurations and encoder support are available by model
SigGear-Tiger Cycloidal pinwheel Driver-equipped configurations and single- or double-magnetic-encoder options are available by model

Typical Applications

  • Humanoid robot joints
  • Exoskeleton joints
  • Quadruped robot joints
  • Robotic arms
  • Rehabilitation equipment
  • Compact rotary axes
  • Research and education platforms

Integration Options

Depending on the selected model and project requirements, available configurations may include:

  • Motor and transmission assembly
  • Integrated driver
  • Magnetic encoder
  • CAN communication
  • RS485 or other project-specific communication interfaces
  • Custom cables and connectors
  • Custom mounting and output interfaces
  • Customer branding and labeling

Driver, encoder, protocol and closed-loop-control functions must be confirmed in the quotation and technical agreement. They must not be assumed from the product-family name alone.

Selection Information Required

Please provide:

  • Application and joint position
  • Required continuous and peak torque
  • Required output speed and motion cycle
  • Operating voltage
  • Maximum outer diameter and thickness
  • Weight target
  • Radial and axial load conditions
  • Driver and encoder requirements
  • Communication interface
  • Prototype quantity and estimated annual volume

Motor and Transmission Integration

For projects that start from a motor, target output motion or installation envelope rather than a fixed joint-drive model, use the motor + gearbox integration path.

Motor + Gearbox Integration Engineering

Custom Robot Joint Development

For robotics teams whose torque, speed, size, motor, encoder, driver or mounting requirements do not match an existing joint-drive model, use the custom robot joint development path.
