ROBOTIS Dynamixel AX-18A
TTL Servo Robot Actuator

Overview:

The AX-18A servo actuator from Robotis is the next step up from the hugly popular AX-12A Servo, offering nearly twice the speed and 15% more torque! The AX-18A robot servo retains the formfactor and all of the same features of its predecessor: the ability to track its speed, temperature, shaft position, voltage, and load. As if this weren't enough, the control algorithm used to maintain shaft position on the AX-18A actuator can be adjusted individually for each servo, allowing you to control the speed and strength of the motor's response. All of the sensor management and position control is handled by the servo's built-in microcontroller. This distributed approach leaves your main controller free to perform other functions. Note: The AX-18A does NOT include mounting and bracket hardware, this is sold separately.

Dynamixel is a robot exclusive smart actuator with fully integrated DC Motor + Reduction Gearhead + Controller + Driver + Network in one DC servo module.

Dynamixel AX-series are used in ROBOTIS STEM, Premium, and GP.  You can easily create various types of robots such as humanoid, 4 legged and 6 legged robot with the AX-series. It can also be used as a wheel so that you can create a robot with a combination of wheel type and joint type in a single module.

By using a variety of high-strength engineering plastic option frames or by printing frames using a 3D printer, you can produce any type of robot at a low cost.
