The Archimedes Drive is engineered to redefine precision mechanics. With its traction-based design, it achieves true zero backlash 4, high torsional stiffness, and minimal lost motion. As a result, motion stays smooth and accurate. Because it uses pure traction contact, wear and noise remain low, while performance stays consistent over time — the reliability that humanoids 5 and advanced robots demand.
Designed for next-generation robots, humanoids, and high-performance automation systems. This compact traction-based transmission delivers exceptional torque output, true zero backlash, and high mechanical efficiency in a lightweight, space-saving design. Engineered to handle demanding dynamic loads, it enables precise and fluid motion in applications where control and compactness are critical — from robotic joints and humanoid limbs to industrial automation and mobile platforms. By using traction instead of gears, the High Torque Density Series eliminates mechanical play and wear, ensuring smooth operation, long lifetime, and consistent performance. Experience how IMSystems’ breakthrough traction technology unlocks new possibilities in motion control for the most advanced humanoid and robotic systems.
Built for reliability in industrial robotics and outdoor robotic systems operating in harsh environments. Designed to perform where durability is non-negotiable, this series combines traction-based power transmission with robust materials and sealed construction for long-term precision under dust, moisture, and temperature extremes. Engineered for heavy-duty automation, field robotics, and autonomous platforms, the Endurance Series delivers consistent torque, zero backlash, and high efficiency even after thousands of operational hours. Its traction technology ensures smooth, wear-resistant motion without the degradation typical of gear-based systems. With proven resilience and low maintenance requirements, the Archimedes Drive Endurance Series sets a new benchmark for dependable performance in real-world industrial and outdoor conditions.
Instead of relying on gears, it uses traction-based power transmission, where smooth rolling contact transfers torque with extreme precision. This eliminates backlash, minimizes wear, and enables ultra-high torque density in a compact, maintenance-free design. Unlike traditional gearboxes such as Harmonic Drives or planetary reducers, the Archimedes Drive has no teeth, flexsplines, or lubrication wear points. The result is a fully backlash-free drive that delivers continuous torque transfer, higher efficiency, and longer lifetime stability. Where gear-based systems depend on mechanical deformation or meshing tolerances, the Archimedes Drive achieves precision through controlled traction forces — a smoother, quieter, and more reliable method for converting motion. Ideal for robotics, humanoids, and advanced automation, it enables accurate, responsive movement even under heavy dynamic loads.
These three principles define the Archimedes Drive. Every rotation is transferred with micron-level precision, enabling smooth, repeatable motion in demanding robotic and automation systems. Its traction-based design ensures maximum efficiency, converting power directly without the friction losses and wear found in gear-based drives. Built for endurance and consistency, the Archimedes Drive offers unmatched reliability — no backlash, no degradation, and no compromise in performance over time. From industrial robots to humanoids and autonomous systems, it delivers the stability and control that next-generation motion requires.
The Archimedes Drive is built for the new era of humanoid robotics — machines that move, balance, and interact with human-like precision. Its traction-based transmission replaces traditional gears, eliminating backlash and wear while delivering smooth, natural motion in every joint. With ultra-high torque density, high efficiency, and zero mechanical play, the Archimedes Drive enables humanoids to perform complex movements with accuracy and repeatability. From lightweight limbs to dynamic walking and manipulation, it provides the control, stability, and responsiveness that human-inspired robotics demand. Designed for continuous performance and long operational life, the Archimedes Drive sets a new benchmark in precision, efficiency, and reliability — redefining how humanoids move the world.
