# Micro Drive Solutions for Robotics Joints
**Precision gear motors for robot grippers, educational robots, and servo replacements.**
## The Challenge
Robotics applications demand precision, repeatability, and torque density in the smallest possible package. Off-the-shelf hobby servos often lack the precision and reliability needed for serious applications.
| Challenge | Why It Matters | Our Approach |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Precision** | Joint positioning requires low backlash and repeatability | Planetary gears with <1° backlash |
| **Torque Density** | Small robots need high torque in minimal space | N20 platform: 3.0 kg·cm in 12mm package |
| **Position Feedback** | Closed-loop control is essential | Hall encoders (7/12 PPR) and magnetic encoders (up to 512 CPR) |
## Recommended Products
| Product | Best For | Key Specs | FOB (1K+) |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| N20 Planetary Gear Motor | Small robot joints, grippers | 12mm, 1.0-3.0 kg·cm, <1° backlash | $3.80 |
| BL-24C Slotless BLDC | Collaborative robot joints | 24mm, <30dB, zero cogging, 15K+ hrs | $15.00 |
| N20 Worm Self-Lock | Robot gripper locks, brakes | 12mm, self-locking, fail-safe hold | $4.50 |
