Cycloidal vs. Harmonic: Which Robot Joint Is Better?
Cycloidal joint modules offer excellent shock resistance, high rigidity, high torque capacity and durability, making them ideal for humanoid robot legs, heavy-duty robotic arms, AGVs and other high-load applications.
Harmonic joint modules, on the other hand, are well known for high precision, low backlash and compact design, making them ideal for precision robotic applications.
The video shows a cycloidal shutdown module with a peak motor speed of 7643 RPM and a peak torque exceeding 590 N·m.
