Strong unit.

SensoUnits

Torque-controlled actuators

The world is changing. And with it, the demands that we place on the modern drives of robots and machines are also changing.
They are compact. They are robust. And they are unbelievably sensitive.
In a word – they are torque-controlled.

The SensoUnit and SensoJoint actuators set new standards in this field.
At the heart of these product families is the tried and tested Sensodrive torque sensor.
With its patented technology and high precision, it sets the stage for the actuators' strong performance.
In addition to the torque sensor, the SensoUnit includes a robust Harmonic Drive® gearbox as well as the output bearing.
The motor and encoder are not included in the SensoUnit, in contrast to the SensoJoint complete package.

The SensoUnit's extraordinary performance is made possible by the perfect adaptation of the torque sensor to the gearbox.
This is how we achieve the best possible performance for you.
A compact design and the possibility of use in human-robot collaboration make the package perfect.
Of course, all of our basic products can be further developed and optimized for your application.

The world's changing? We're changing the world. SensoUnit.
