Direct Drive Actuator

The direct drive actuator is a drive unit consisting of a brushless motor, a 6:1 planetary gearbox, and an MD80 controller. Here are some technical specifications of this system:

• Voltage: The actuator operates with a DC voltage of 48 VDC.
• Mass: The weight of the actuator is 0.485 kg, considered light due to its highly integrated and compact design.
• Torque: The actuator generates a torque of 6 Nm in nominal operation and can reach peak values of up to 12 Nm.
• Maximum Speed: The maximum speed is 360 RPM at nominal torque, indicating efficient performance of the drive system.
• Design: The actuator features a highly integrated and compact design, indicating optimized space utilization and adaptability to various applications.
• Configuration: The actuator's configuration is described as simple and can be done in plug-and-play mode with CANdle and CANdle HAT, facilitating implementation.
• Encoder: A 14-bit encoder is integrated, indicating precise position feedback.
• Interface: The actuator has a fast CAN-FD interface, enabling efficient data communication.
• ROS/ROS2 Support: The actuator is compatible with ROS (Robot Operating System) and ROS2, facilitating integration into robotic systems.
• Programming Languages: C++ and Python libraries are available to facilitate programming and control of the actuator.
• Backlash: 12 arc minutes (0.02°)

Overall, the quasi-direct drive actuator provides a powerful, precise, and well-integrated solution for applications requiring precise positioning and Control.
