Quasi-Direct-Drive Actuator (MIT Cheetah-Class)

MFR BotwerXMODEL BW-QDD-90

High-torque quasi-direct-drive actuator built for dynamic legged robots, pairing a low-ratio planetary gear with a large-diameter BLDC for backdrivable, impact-tolerant joints. Integrated FOC driver and CAN make it a drop-in leg module.

This is our own product rather than one carried by a supplier, so there is no second vendor to compare it against and no supplier stock reading to report. Availability is arranged directly — ask us before planning a build around it.
