May I ask what motor do you guys use for the orbita joint?

Did you guys use any encoder?

Hello,

We use:

  • Maxon motors: DC-max16S GB SL 12V
  • Maxon Planetary gearhead - GPX16 A 35:1

Indeed, we have AS5045 magnetic rotary position sensors on the PCB of orbita, sensing the rotation of the pinions with magnets.

Cheers,

Augustin
