Robotic Building Blocks

Modularity at the Joint Level


HEBI’s growing line of actuation hardware and supporting components has everything you need for the foundation of your robot. Each actuator contains an on-board processor for low level control, supports standard Ethernet and power, and contains a wealth of sensors. Our hardware platform makes it easy to assemble a robot that’s both effective and adaptable.

Ruggedized for Wet and Dirty Environments 

R-Series Actuator®

HEBI’s R-Series allows engineers and industrial integrators to quickly create custom robots that can be deployed directly into wet, dirty, or outdoor environments. The R-Series offers all of the benefits of the X-Series, along with a sealed robotics solution for rugged, industrial applications.

Each R-Series Actuator® is sealed to IP67 and designed with a lightweight form factor that allows them to be used in challenging field applications. They are packed with sensors that enable simultaneous control of position, velocity, and torque as well as three-axis inertial measurement.

Each actuator integrates a brushless motor, gear reduction, force-sensing, encoders, and control electronics into a compact package that runs on anything from 24V-48V DC and communicates using standard 100Mbps Ethernet. This, along with an internal pressure sensor, keeps the overall robotic system lightweight, low-power, simple, and safe.

For Indoor Use

T-Series Actuator™

HEBI Robotics' T-Series Actuators® allow engineers, researchers, and industrial integrators to quickly and easily create custom, world-class robots of any configuration. These professional-grade actuators are packed with sensors that enable simultaneous control of position, velocity, and torque as well as three axis inertial measurement.

Each module is a series-elastic actuator that integrates a brushless motor, geartrain, spring, encoders, and control electronics into a compact package that runs on anything from 18V to 48V DC and communicates using standard 10/100Mbps Ethernet.

The T-Series Actuator® is designed to function as a full-featured robotic component as opposed to a simple servo motor. The output rotates continuously, requires no calibration or homing on boot-up, and contains a thru-bore for easy daisy-chaining and wiring. The modules can be used in everything from wheeled robots to multi-degree-of-freedom, collaborative robotic arms.

Legacy

X-Series Actuator®

Introduced in 2016, HEBI’s first series-elastic X-Series actuators have been replaced by the T-Series. The T-Series build upon the capabilities of the X-Series with the following improvements:

  • Increased continuous torque, power, and operational lifetime

  • Quicker, cleaner, and easier to integrate into a robotic system

  • Mechanically and electrically compatible with our R-Series actuators

X-Series Support and Compatibility

All existing X-Series actuators will continue to be supported. Software and API support will continue indefinitely.
