Dimensional Specifications

The joint module adopts a standardized flange interface design, with industry-common mounting hole patterns on both the input and output sides. For specific dimensions, please refer to the mechanical drawings for each model (available for download from the Alius technical support website).

Key dimensional parameters:

  • Input side mounting flange diameter: 60–100 mm depending on model
  • Output side mounting flange diameter: 50–90 mm depending on model
  • Total module length: 80–140 mm depending on model
  • Output shaft diameter: 12–25 mm depending on model

Encoder Specifications

ParameterSpecification
Encoder Type19-bit Absolute Encoder
Resolution524,288 counts/revolution (0.0015°/count)
Output InterfaceDifferential signal (RS-422)
Update Frequency1 MHz
Single-turn / Multi-turnSingle-turn absolute + electronic multi-turn
Zero-point CalibrationSoftware calibration supported

The use of an absolute encoder eliminates the need for mechanical homing procedures after each power-up. The system can determine the current joint angle by reading the absolute encoder value, significantly reducing system startup time.

Communication Interface

CAN / CAN-FD Interface

ParameterSpecification
Physical InterfaceCAN Bus (ISO 11898-2)
Baud Rate1 Mbps (CAN) / up to 5 Mbps (CAN-FD)
Node ID ConfigurationSoftware configurable, range 1–127
Terminating ResistorExternal 120Ω terminating resistor required
Connector TypeM8 5-pin Type A (female)

Communication Protocol Features

  • Supports standard CAN 2.0A (11-bit identifier) and CAN-FD frame formats
  • Supports multi-node bus topology; up to 127 joint modules can be connected on a single bus
  • Supports broadcast commands and unicast commands
  • Built-in CRC verification and timeout detection mechanism
