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.
