AC High Voltage Joint Module

The AC High Voltage Series joint module (220V power supply) features a compact design, high precision, and a large hollow bore — simplifying customer selection, design, and manufacturing processes. The product supports BISS-C and TAMAGAWA communication protocols.

Joint Module vs Standalone Reducer

A standalone strain wave gear is a purely mechanical component. Integrating it requires your team to source a matching servo motor, select encoders, wire feedback loops, and align all shafts to strict micron-level tolerances.

Conversely, the AC High Voltage Joint Module arrives as a completely finished actuator. We factory assemble and precisely align the gear, motor, encoders, and brake on the exact same Zeiss CMM inspection lines that verify our raw gear components. You simply bolt the module into your robot frame and plug in the cables.

When the trade-off makes sense:

  • Choose a joint module when development speed matters; the module arrives ready to run on day one
  • Choose a standalone reducer when you need to specify a specific motor brand, custom windings, or non-standard encoder format
  • Choose a joint module when you lack the in-house capability to align motor and reducer shafts to the required tolerance (typically under 5 microns runout)
  • Choose a standalone reducer when your production volume justifies the tooling cost of building your own integrated joint solution
Joint Module vs Standalone Reducer AC High Voltage for Product Overview

Sing Encoder and Brake System

The Standard configuration includes one absolute encoder:

Encoder: One absolute encoder with 17-bit single-turn and 16-bit multi-turn functions for motor position feedback. A dual-encoder configuration is also available upon customer request.

The permanent magnet brake is more compact and lightweight, reducing overall joint size and weight for space-constrained robotic applications. It requires zero power consumption during holding and generates minimal heat, improving energy efficiency and system reliability.

Rotary Indexing Tables

Rotary Indexing Tables

The actuator drives indexing tables in automated assembly lines, enabling precise step-by-step positioning of workpieces between different processing stations.

Frequently Asked Questions

BiSS-C and TAMAGAWA. Both are digital absolute encoder protocols that do not require homing on startup — the controller reads the absolute joint angle directly from the encoder register. If your drive requires a different protocol, contact engineering for compatibility assessment before ordering.
IP54 at the joint body: protected against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction. IP67 is available upon request for applications requiring full protection against dust and temporary water immersion. For full IP67 sealing throughout (including connectors), specify at RFQ stage — sealed connector options are available.
Start with your joint torque and speed requirements. M80D is the smallest frame for light payloads and delta robots. M90D and M110D cover mid-range collaborative and industrial arms. M142D handles heavy payloads in palletizing and welding. M170D is the largest frame for the highest torque class. Torque ratings per size and ratio are published on each model's Technical Specifications page. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing up — the module operates more efficiently and lasts longer when not run at its torque ceiling.
Yes, Laifual Drive will support customers' requirements based on their project needs.
The module supports BiSS-C or TAMAGAWA and accepts standard AC servo drive input. It has been tested with common industrial drive brands. If using a specific drive model, provide the drive datasheet at RFQ stage and Laifual Drive will confirm signal compatibility.
None during the rated 15,000-hour design life. The strain wave gear is lifetime grease-lubricated and sealed at the factory. Bearings are pre-loaded and sealed. The electromagnetic brake is a dry friction type with no fluid replacement. After 15,000 hours, the module can be returned to Laifual Drive for inspection and re-greasing or replaced under a service exchange program.
