Scope

Public manufacturer specifications for HEBI, ROBOTIS, CubeMars and MYACTUATOR modules spanning series-elastic, harmonic, planetary and high-ratio servo architectures.

Do not flatten

Peak, stall and rated torque are different claims. Backlash signs, limits and methods also differ; missing values stay unknown instead of inferred.

Read the actuator evidence audits

RCI 020 turns the missing method into a public torque–angle protocol: three test boundaries, three positions, five recorded cycles and downloadable raw and summary templates. Open RCI-BLM-1 →

RCI 016 audits backlash and related motion-error language across all 18 records: 15 explicit statements, three qualitative-only U states and zero complete public test methods. Open the backlash audit →

RCI 015 separately preserves five torque-duty boundaries and the thermal conditions that remain undisclosed. Open the torque audit →

Interpretation rule

The condition belongs to the number.

RCI does not compute winners from this audit sample. The table’s purpose is to show what can be compared now, what requires a shared test, and which public fields are still missing.
