01
Axis performance
Payload, reach, speed, acceleration and duty cycle set torque, ratio and thermal requirements.
Applications
Application hardware
Robotic Arms & Cobots
Plan motion axes, reducers, force feedback, end-of-arm hardware, safety circuits and engineering file access for robot arm projects.
AI-generated editorial scene for robotic arm and cobot integration.
Application architecture
Resolve the axis chain before the cell around it.
Each arm axis connects motor, drive, reducer, feedback, brake and structure; the wrist then adds EOAT load, force sensing, dress-pack routing and the cell safety boundary.
02
Transmission & feedback
Reducer, bearings, encoder and brake must fit the axis stiffness, backlash and holding needs.
03
Wrist & EOAT
Tool mass, center of gravity, moment, utilities and force sensing shape the wrist interface.
04
Dress pack & cell safety
Moving power, feedback, pneumatic and communication routes must preserve bend life while guarding, interlocks, E-stop and STO remain in the integrator risk boundary.
Featured decision / governing axis
Start with the axis and tool load that govern the arm.
The most demanding axis and the loaded wrist condition usually expose the torque, ratio, stiffness and thermal constraints that determine the rest of the hardware path.
Integration decisions
Keep the interfaces in view as you narrow the hardware.
Motor-to-output sizing
Review torque, speed, ratio, efficiency and thermal margin at the loaded axis.
Torque · speed · ratio · dutyWrist interface
Define flange, EOAT moment, utilities and force/torque sensing before adapter work.
Flange · payload · moment · sensingMotion and safety boundary
Separate axis control requirements from guarding, scanner and force-limited validation ownership.
Drive · STO · guarding · validationChoose a hardware path
Use the path that matches the decision you need to make next.
Select axis hardware from known loads
Use published motors, reducers, encoders, brakes and force sensors when axis targets are defined.
Browse arm-axis hardwareAdapt the wrist and moving services
Use custom dress packs, flange adapters and EOAT interfaces when geometry controls the solution.
Review arm custom buildsReview the arm subsystem
Use engineering review when axes, EOAT, sensing and safety interfaces must be resolved together.

What this page does not cover
This page is not a certified cobot safety assessment and does not validate force-limited operation, machine guarding, cycle performance or a complete robot cell without customer-side risk assessment and validation.
Controlled engineering files
State the arm axis, wrist or tool flange involved and whether the requested file supports torque review, mounting, cable routing, EOAT load calculation or safety I/O mapping.
Engineering review
Define the arm axis and EOAT conditions that drive selection.
Provide the axis load case, flange drawing, EOAT concept or current motor/reducer list. The initial review can identify the missing torque, interface and safety inputs.
