## Size a joint

- [Motor torque calculator](/tools/motor-torque-calculator?solve=power&t=23.7&n=286): **710 W** of shaft power at its peak 23.7 N·m and 286 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=0.53,0.5,0&p=2): **32.1 N·m** at the shoulder with its 530 g at the elbow of a 2 kg-payload arm.

## Use cases

- quadruped leg
- legged robot
- robot arm

## Notes

Joint motor from the Unitree Go1 quadruped. Manual gives 23.7 Nm max output torque, 30 rad/s (~286 rpm) max speed, torque constant 0.63895 Nm/A (at output), max current 40A, 6.33:1 reduction, built-in FOC. Continuous/rated torque not published (comparison sources cite ~9-10 Nm). Weight ~530 g per manual (some resellers list 420-440 g). Voltage 24V recommended (manual cites 12-30V; some listings up to 48V). Uses Unitree's RS-485/serial bus, not CAN. Price ~$369 (Unitree shop).
