CubeMars AKE80-8 KV30 Quasi Direct Drive Actuator The CubeMars AKE80-8 KV30 is a quasi-direct-drive actuator that integrates a brushless DC motor with an 8:1 planetary gearbox. It delivers 30 Nm peak torque, low backlash, and high torque density for exoskeletons, collaborative robots, legged robots, and robotic arm joints. Key Specifications Application Exoskeleton Motor dimensions Φ87 × 32 mm Motor weight 570 g Rated voltage 48 V Rated torque 12 Nm Peak torque 30 Nm Rated speed 150 rpm No-load speed 195 rpm Rated current 4.8 ADC Peak current 12 ADC Reduction ratio 8:1 KV 30 rpm/V KT 0.32 Nm/A KE 33 V/krpm Backlash 9 arcmin Maximum torque density 52 Nm/kg Product Highlights Quasi-direct-drive design combines a BLDC motor with a planetary gearbox for high response and low backlash. Ultra-low approximately 9 arcmin backlash supports precise joint control. High torque density enables compact exoskeleton, legged robot, and robotic-arm designs. Official driver-board documentation and mechanical drawings support integration and testing. Applications Exoskeleton joints requiring lightweight high-response actuation. Collaborative robot and robotic-arm joints that need compact quasi-direct-drive output. Legged robot and research platforms where low backlash and torque density matter.
