maxon, a global leader in precision drive systems, is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovation, the High Efficiency Joint 90 (HEJ90). This compact, integrated drive system is designed to meet the demanding needs of modern robotics applications, offering unparalleled performance and reliability.
The HEJ90 is a fully encapsulated actuator that combines all necessary subsystems, including electronics, motor, gearbox, and sensors, into a single, robust unit. With its shock and water protection (IP67 ingress rating), the HEJ90 is built to withstand harsh environments and continuous operation, making it ideal for a wide range of robotics applications.
maxon will be showcasing the HEJ90 in booth #326 at Robotics Summit & Expo, the premier event for robotics developers. The event takes place April 30-May 1, 2025 at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center.
Alessandro Forino, head of robotic drive systems at maxon, will also be talking about “Scaling Mobile Robotics with Modern Actuator Concepts” at the event. The talk takes place Wednesday, April 30 from 2:45 PM – 3:30 PM in room 257A. It will explore the evolution of actuator designs in modern mobile robotics, emphasizing the shift towards lower-cost and less complex systems while maintaining high performance.
maxon said the following are some key features and advantages of the HEJ90:
High output powers and cooling: The HEJ90 is designed for high output powers and efficient cooling, ensuring optimal performance even under demanding conditions.
Dynamic motions and high peak torques: The actuator supports dynamic motions and delivers high peak torques, making it suitable for applications requiring precise and powerful movements.
Efficiencies up to 86%: With a peak efficiency of up to 86%, the HEJ90 maximizes power conversion, reducing energy consumption and extending battery life.
Integrated rlectronics and joint output bearing: The HEJ90 features integrated electronics and a joint output bearing, simplifying system integration and enhancing reliability.
Mobile autonomous robots: The actuator is perfect for use in mobile autonomous robots, including humanoids, quadrupeds, and mobile manipulation systems.
Robustness and advanced control options
The HEJ90’s high robustness and advanced control options ensure long service life and precise system planning and optimization. Suitable simulation models are available to facilitate accurate system design and performance prediction.
The Robotics Summit & Expo will bring together 5,000+ industry professionals to explore the latest advancements in motion control, AI, sensing, software development, humanoids, and more. The event features 200+ exhibitors, 50+ educational sessions, five keynotes, and hands-on demos, making it a must-attend gathering for those shaping the future of robotics. The Summit offers networking opportunities, a Career Fair, a robotics development challenge, the RBR50 Robotics Innovation Awards Gala, and more.
Registration for the Robotics Summit & Expo is open.
