Zmotor humanoid robot linear actuator torn down

2 reports · 2 sources

A user posted a teardown on Reddit's r/robotics of a linear actuator that Zmotor built for humanoid robots in the Chinese market. The teardown shows that the actuator integrates a stator, a rotor and an inverted planetary roller screw (IPRS) within a 32 mm body. The same teardown author later presented the same content in video form on r/humanoidrobotics, without giving load, stroke or measured performance data. The teardown author solicited opinions on whether humanoid robot joints should use IPRS or ball screws, and there is no conclusion yet.
