Synovial

Development Kit

Plug & Test: For True Innovators

Experience the Future

The Synovial series is designed to enable human-level actuation for the next generation of Physical AI robots.

Our latest Development Kit includes a fully assembled Synovial, a purpose-designed R&D mount, and an optional output encoder. Ideal for innovators to test our cutting-edge technology with confidence, backed by IMSystems' dedicated support.

For actuator engineers: 120 Nm repeated torque from 0.8 kg at 95 mm diameter, roughly 150 Nm/kg. Lost motion stays at 0.2 arcmin for the life of the drive. Backdrivable, with overtorque protection through micro-slip. Centre bore and continuous rotation possible. Below 55 dBA.
