Shortlist quality
- Typical Range
- 2-4 candidate paths per major joint group
- Procurement Value
- A short but broad-enough shortlist lets teams compare availability, cost, and technical risk.
Selection support that turns a humanoid joint map into practical catalog actuator candidates before a buyer commits to samples or custom tooling.
Reference visual for selection context. Confirm controlled drawings, CAD path, and test records for shortlisted models.
Engineering Asset Status
Current site images are reference selection visuals for catalog navigation. They should not be treated as final factory photos, CAD drawings, test records, or lot-specific inspection documents. For shortlisted models, request the controlled packet tied to model code, drawing revision, test condition, and sample lot.
Reference visuals, product-family routes, RFQ class matrices, and validation checklists for early selection.
Controlled datasheet, drawing or CAD path, torque-speed or thermal record, wiring notes, and sample or OQC evidence.
Verified factory-floor photos, teardown images, and lot-specific test reports are not presented as public evidence until real project assets exist.
| Program Metric | Typical Range | Procurement Value |
|---|---|---|
| Shortlist quality | 2-4 candidate paths per major joint group | A short but broad-enough shortlist lets teams compare availability, cost, and technical risk. |
Use these record types to turn the standard actuator model selection page into a project-specific qualification packet. Controlled documents should be requested only after the candidate model and scope are clear.
| Record | When Needed | What It Shows | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Datasheet and model summary | Early shortlist and internal design review. | Rated output, peak window, voltage, protocol, mass, interface assumptions, and operating limits. | Treat it as a selection aid; final fit still depends on the buyer drawing and duty cycle. |
| Dimensional drawing or CAD path | Before mechanical freeze or sample release. | Envelope, flange, bore, cable exit, connector space, and revision baseline. | CAD / STEP availability depends on model family, OEM scope, and NDA status. |
| Sample inspection or test note | Before accepting samples for pilot planning. | Evidence around the selected test priority: torque, backlash, temperature rise, noise, brake behavior, or force response. | The useful test must be agreed by application; generic records may not answer the buyer risk. |
| Accessory and wiring note | When a controller, encoder, brake, or harness is included. | Voltage, current limit, protocol, connector, pinout, firmware assumption, and safety behavior. | Compatibility must be checked against the buyer controller and robot safety logic. |
| Packaging and shipment baseline | Before sample, pilot, or repeat-order logistics. | Incoterm, destination, packing method, declared description, target ship date, and required export documents. | Final delivery terms depend on confirmed commercial scope and destination requirements. |
OEM work usually needs deeper files than a public product page can expose. Use this path to align drawing access, CAD release, validation records, and repeat-order controls with the actual standard actuator model selection scope.
| Packet | Buyer Stage | Required Input | Release Boundary | Primary Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RFQ-qualified engineering packet | Before sample quote | Drawing revision, mechanical envelope, controller stack, and validation priority. | Provided after the model path is clear; it may still exclude editable CAD or supplier-controlled internals. | Check whether a sample can be integrated and tested. |
| NDA-controlled CAD packet | Before mechanical freeze | Confirmed candidate model, buyer entity, project scope, and NDA path if needed. | Not an automatic website download; controlled files depend on model, OEM scope, and permission. | Let mechanical and electrical teams freeze interface assumptions. |
| Sample validation packet | Before pilot decision | Accepted sample scope, test fixture context, pass / fail priority, and pilot quantity. | Generic records may not answer the application risk; request the exact test that matters. | Decide whether accepted samples can move into pilot planning. |
| Pilot / repeat-order packet | Before repeat PO | Approved revision, forecast cadence, shipment terms, and quality record expectation. | Final content depends on commercial scope and agreed QC terms. | Prevent silent revision drift between sample, pilot, and repeat orders. |
Yes, but the recommendation is provisional. Final CAD, cable routing, and duty-cycle data are required before sample release.
Procurement guide
Use the procurement guide when an OEM track needs to connect article checklists with NDA scope, controlled documents, revision control, and pilot-supply handoff.
A buyer-side guide for pre-modular humanoid actuator sourcing: selection risk, evidence requests, sample readiness, and pilot supply controls.

03 OEM sample execution
When an OEM scope changes, return to the catalog baseline so buyer and supplier teams keep model class, evidence pack, and BOM assumptions aligned.
