## Size a joint

- [Motor torque calculator](/tools/motor-torque-calculator?solve=power&t=2.3&n=30): **7.23 W** of shaft power at its rated 2.3 N·m and 30 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=0.232,0.5,0&p=2): **30.9 N·m** at the shoulder with its 232 g at the elbow of a 2 kg-payload arm.

## Use cases

- cobot arm
- robot arm

## Notes

Smart Compliant Actuator used in the INNFOS Gluon desktop cobot arm; integrates reducer + outer-rotor motor + precision encoder + collision detection + driver. QDD-Lite-NE30-36: 2.3 N.m rated / 10 N.m peak, ~30 rpm rated output, 52mm dia x 68.8mm, ~232g. Despite the -36 designation the actual reduction ratio is 33.6:1. Regulates position/velocity/torque/impedance directly. Smallest/lightest premium joint here (cobot-scale, not heavy-arm). The Gluon arm runs on a 42V supply; per-actuator rated voltage is not separately confirmed so voltage is null. INNFOS branding is largely defunct (project continued under Mintasca) so availability is unknown.
