This series of planetary joint motors utilizes high-energy permanent magnetic materials combined with optimized pole-slot design, delivering exceptional torque density and strong short-term overload capability. This ensures powerful output even within highly constrained installation spaces.


The standard product lineup covers frame sizes ranging from 38 mm to 127 mm, with overall performance exceeding industry benchmarks by 10–20%. The motors offer smooth operation and abundant torque, making them ideal for a wide variety of robotic applications.


HONPINE drives are equipped with advanced vector control algorithms, delivering high dynamic response and precise positioning performance. They provide strong low-speed, high-torque output as well as rapid start-stop capability. Multiple built-in protection mechanisms—including overload, overvoltage, and overcurrent protection—ensure stable and reliable operation.


The products support multiple industrial communication protocols, including CAN and EtherCAT. Available in power-board sizes ranging from 14 mm to 130 mm, the drives support up to 72 VDC and 300 A peak current. Their compact design and user-friendly commissioning process allow flexible integration with various motor models, meeting the demanding performance requirements of modern robotic systems.
