Teardown of a Robot Joint: How It Controls Rotation & Measures Angle
Ever wondered what's inside a robotic joint? In this video, we tear down a compact but heavy all-metal joint to see how it moves with precision.
🔧 What we found:
CAN bus communication + 32-bit MCU
MOSFETs & gate driver for motor control
Magnetic absolute encoder (AS5047) for precise angle sensing – no homing needed!
Two-stage planetary gear reduction
Built-in overcurrent protection & temperature monitoring
From power pins to planetary gears, this little actuator packs serious tech. If you're into robotics, mechatronics, or just love a good teardown, you don't want to miss this.
