## Size a joint

- [Motor torque calculator](/tools/motor-torque-calculator?solve=power&t=12&n=89): **112 W** of shaft power at its rated 12 N·m and 89 rpm.
- [Robot arm torque calculator](/tools/robot-arm-torque-calculator?L=0.4,0.35,0.12&m=1.2,0.8,0.3&a=0.382,0.5,0&p=2): **31.5 N·m** at the shoulder with its 382 g at the elbow of a 2 kg-payload arm.
- [Humanoid robot actuators](/guides/humanoid-robot-actuators#elbow): **2 of 7 joints** within its rated torque, up to the elbow at 4.4 N·m.

## Use cases

- humanoid joint
- robot arm
- exoskeleton

## Robots that use it

- [Asimov 1](https://actuatorlist.com/robots#menlo-asimov-1) by Menlo Research: Open-source 1.2 m, 35 kg biped humanoid for whole-body control and locomotion research, sold as a DIY kit with full BOM, CAD and a MuJoCo sim on GitHub. Rated for 5 kg per arm.

## Notes

56mm x 60.5mm planetary joint module with dual encoders and a 3005 crossed-roller bearing, used in Asimov 1. 12 N.m rated, 36 N.m peak, 75 rpm rated and 89 rpm peak, 36:1, rated 24V and supports 48V, 7.8A rated and 30A peak phase current, 156W rated, 71% efficiency, 10 arcmin backlash, 382g. CAN at 1 Mbps. Specs and the $700 motor-only price are from the AIFITLAB listing; no ENCOS datasheet was found online. A hollow-shaft EC-A4310-P2-36H (414g) is sold separately.
