Details

Unitree A1 Motor integrates the actuator and reducer into a compact, ultra-thin joint module for high-load robotic motion.


High burst output supports agile motion in compact robotic joints where fast acceleration and stable control matter.

High-quality windings and stator construction are designed to reduce resistance while improving thermal performance.

A highly integrated layout combines crossed roller bearing support with RS-485 communication for real-time feedback and control commands.



Built-in temperature monitoring helps protect the actuator during demanding duty cycles and abnormal heat conditions.


Each package includes the RS-485 communication module plus the required XT30 power and GH1.25 data cabling.
