Why robots need a servo motor
Similar to a human body, robotic links and robotic joints form the skeleton of a robot. Servo motors are the muscles that move and rotate the robotic links and robotic joints to alter the machine's position and movement.
In contrast to a regular motor that rotates continuously and halts only when we turn it off, a servomotor can stop at any required position and hold it until it receives another command. With an integrated feedback mechanism, servos are fully self-contained, which allows for implementing speed and angle control in a robot arm or a robotic hand.
Boasting a high repeatability rate, the robotic actuator maintains the precision of a robot's movements throughout numerous work cycles. Energy-efficient and easy-to-service, servomotors make it possible to reduce the cost of operating and maintaining a robot.
Where to get a robotic servo motor
From our experience, there are three options for getting a robotic motor:
1
Search by price
If you are looking for low prices and fast delivery, you can consider this option. However, cheap robotic joints from Asia are usually not built to handle serious loads needed for industrial applications. There's also a risk that the actual parameters will be different from the stated specifications.
2
Search by quality
Buy a robotic actuator from a recognized European or American manufacturer. This option gives you a quality servomotor, but you will need to order large quantities to avoid long delivery wait times. If you need just a few motors to build a prototype robot arm, you may have to wait for half a year! You must also consider that customization will increase the cost significantly, making the price for the order up to 100K Euros.
3
Make your own
Make a robotic actuator of your own. This way you can have the customizations and quality you want, but your total expenses may equal the cost of 500 standard servos. You will also have to spend hours looking for reliable suppliers and skilled personnel. This option will require a lot of hard work on your part.

RDrive servos as robotic actuators
RDrive servos as robotic actuators
The first RDrive robotic motor was created to drive Rozum Robotics collaborative robot that we designed and built completely in house. We were disappointed with the quality of cheap Asian robotic joints and were unwilling to pay for expensive customization in Europe. The factors motivated us to take it upon ourselves to design and create our own robotic actuator.
RDrive servos are available in a range of sizes and offer the following major benefits as robotic actuators:
High-precision control
An integrated controller and two position feedback encoders to enable high-precision control of angular positioning and motion speed in a robot arm or robotic hand.
High-torque output
With a fitted gearbox into their housing, RDrive servo motors produce high-torque output, increasing the payload capacity of a robot.
Industrial robot integration
Our drives are robust enough to be used in an industrial robot arm or robotic hand, yet compact and lightweight, which reduces the overall load on your machine.
Quick response
Due to their closed-loop motion system, our robotic actuators can provide quick response - an important capability for a collaborative robot that needs to react fast to changing conditions.
Hollow-shaft design
The hollow-shaft design allows for their easy integration into various robotic configurations: communication cables go inside the housing.
