The Backbone of Robotic Motion

Self-Lubricating Rod Ends for Linear Actuator
Self-lubricating rod ends engineered to optimize robots for linear actuator applications with precise, high-frequency control. Zero maintenance, infinite endurance.
Core Solutions for Humanoid Robotics
Liner-type self-lubricating rod ends are the industry standard for advanced robotic joints. Here is why they are the critical choice for your design.
Zero Maintenance & Risk-Free
Uses a solid transfer film mechanism for continuous lubrication. Eliminates grease leakage and low-temp coagulation risks, significantly reducing operational costs.
Compact & Lightweight
Simple structure eliminates bulky lubrication systems. Optimizes the robot's power-to-weight ratio and fits perfectly into tight joint cavities.
High-Frequency Motion
Specialized liner reduces friction resistance and prevents stick-slip. Ensures smooth, precise control during rapid direction changes and multi-DOF movements.
Durability & Resilience
Engineered for harsh environments with exceptional load-bearing capacity. Resistant to corrosion, wear, and dust while maintaining low noise levels.

Rotary + Linkage Configuration
The dominant configuration for humanoid robots, particularly in knee and ankle joints. This architecture uses a rotary actuator to drive other components via a rigid linkage mechanism, acting as both a driver and a load-bearing structure.
Compact Structure
Ideal for small spaces with high motion range requirements.
Bio-mimetic Control
Achieves non-linear, human-like motion trajectories.
Dual Function
Simplifies design by combining drive and load-bearing roles.
High Rigidity
Withstands significant torque and reaction forces.
Cost Efficiency
Lower implementation cost compared to complex geared systems.
Rotary + Linear Integration
Integrates rotational and linear freedom in a single unit. Essential for upper-body tasks requiring stability, such as bicep thrusts and standing balance.
Space Efficiency & Force
Utilizes longer, stronger actuators to maximize output force in confined areas.
Self-Locking Ability
Provides energy-efficient stability when holding static poses.
Visual Precision
Minimizes arm occlusion, improving the field of view for onboard vision systems.
