DYNAMIXEL Q
Overview
DYNAMIXEL Q is the ROBOTIS quasi direct drive (QDD) actuator line for humanoids. ROBOTIS highlights its elasticity, strong peak torque and shock absorption.
Position, velocity, torque and impedance control modes are supported.
- 166 N·mPeak torque (QC100)
- 48 VInput voltage
- < 10′Backlash
- 4Control modes
Key Features
Quasi direct drive
QDD actuators with a frameless BLDC motor. Gear ratios are 25:1 on the QC050 and 20:1 on the other QC models.
Four control modes
Position, velocity, torque and impedance control.
Hollow shaft
Hollow shaft sizes range from Ø4 to Ø9 mm, depending on the model.
RS485 bus
RS485 multidrop bus, 9,600 bps to 8 Mbps, with up to 253 IDs.
Encoders
A motor encoder plus a 65,536 pulse/rev output encoder.
