Electromate Introduces Maxon HEJ 70 High-Efficiency Joint for Mobile Robotics
Electromate Inc., Canada’s exclusive distributor of Maxon precision mechatronic components, announces the release of the HEJ 70 High-Efficiency Joint actuator. This compact, fully integrated robotic joint actuator is engineered to meet the demanding performance needs of mobile and manipulation robots. The HEJ 70‑48‑50 actuator combines a torque-dense motor, planetary gearbox, 14-bit absolute encoder, and EtherCAT control electronics into a sealed, IP67-rated package. It delivers a peak torque of ±50 Nm and a maximum joint speed of 28 rad/s, with efficiencies up to 74% at 12 Nm and 26 rad/s. The actuator's compact design (1.05 kg) and high performance make it suitable for lightweight robotic applications.
Key Specifications
