1. Dynamixel DX-Series
1-1. Overview and Characteristics of the DX-Series
Dynamixel DX-Series The Dynamixel robot actuator is a smart, modular actuator that incorporates a gear
reducer and a control circuitry with networking functionality, all in a single package.
Despite its compact size, it can produce large torque and is made with special
materials to provide the necessary strength and structural resilience to withstand
large external forces. It also has the ability to detect and act upon internal
conditions such as changes in internal temperature or supply voltage. There are
three models (DX-113, DX-116, and DX-117) in the DX series of the Dynamixel
robot actuator family and they have many advantages over similar products.
Precision Control Position and speed can be controlled with a resolution of 1024 steps.
Compliance Driving The degree of compliance can be adjusted and specified in controlling position.
Feedback Feedback for angular position, angular velocity, and load torque are available.
Alarm System The Dynamixel series robot actuator can alert the user when parameters deviate
from user defined ranges (e.g. internal temperature, torque, voltage, etc) and can
also appropriately handle the problems by itself.
Communication Wiring is easy with daisy chain connection, and it support communication speeds
up to 1M BPS.
High-performance Motors Models DX-116 and DX-117 use the RE-MAX Series Coreless DC Motors, which
are the top of the line Swiss Maxon motors, allowing them to produce large output
torques and high accelerations.
Distributed Control The actuation schedule can be set with a single command packet, thus enabling
the main processor to control many Dynamixel units even with very few resources.
Engineering Plastic The main body of the unit is made with high quality engineering plastic which
enables it to handle high torque loads.
