Lightweighting has always been the most persistent breakthrough point for humanoid robot body enterprises.
The lighter the body, the smaller the power required to drive more movements, resulting in higher stability, speed, and accuracy. At the same time, lightweighting can significantly reduce joint impact and energy consumption, while improving the efficiency of movement and effectively ensuring operational safety.
In response to this demand, we have taken the lead in launching the world's first PEEK-compliant harmonic reducer. Through material and process innovation, we have redefined the lightweight path for core components of flexible robots.
This reducer uses PEEK/resin composite injection molding technology, integrating the internal gear and cross roller bearings. It not only reduces the traditional metal components by 50% or more, but also simultaneously enhances the lightweight and rigidity of the bearing components. The overall weight is reduced by 61% compared to the metal version, and the torque/weight ratio is increased by 74%. It also has advantages such as vibration-free transmission and error adaptive compensation.
In terms of structural design, through the integration of high-molecular composite material bearings and elastic hollow rollers, the volume and lifespan performance are further optimized. Compared with traditional metal harmonic reducers, this product has a 20% reduction in axial size, a 40% weight reduction, and fully meets the compact and lightweight requirements of humanoid robots.
This breakthrough has attracted strong attention in the industry. A responsible person from a component company stated at the exhibition that after first handling this reducer, "It's too lightweight. We will definitely follow this direction in the future."
The density of PEEK composite material is only half that of aluminum, while its strength per unit weight is 5 to 7 times that of aluminum, achieving an excellent balance between lightness and strength for this reducer.
"Over the next few years, high-performance composite materials such as PEEK and carbon fiber resin will gradually replace traditional metal bearings. Currently, the price of PEEK is relatively high, mainly due to limited large-scale production. Once humanoid robots enter mass production and the leading products undergo material value verification, the cost is bound to drop rapidly, just like the path experienced by the new energy industry in the past."
