Knee Actuator parts diagram: 1 frameless BLDC motor, 2 harmonic reducer, 3 encoder, 4 gate driver board, 5 power MOSFET, 6 ball bearing. 151 parts in 6 top-level items.
Knee Actuator parts diagram. Numbers match the table below; each box is one top-level part or assembly with what it contains.
#PartQtyWhat it does
1 Frameless BLDC Motor 5 parts 1× Housingless brushless rotor/stator pair integrated directly into the joint.
2 Harmonic Reducer 4 parts 1× Strain-wave gear giving high reduction with zero backlash.
3 Encoder 2× Motor + output encoders
4 Gate Driver Board 3 parts 1× Circuit board carrying the gate driver ICs, isolation, and protection that switch the power modules of an inverter or servo drive.
5 Power MOSFET 6× Power MOSFET: a voltage-controlled semiconductor switch that turns high currents on and off at high speed in converters and motor drives.
6 Ball Bearing 2× Deep-groove radial ball bearing.
