About
About TQ-RoboDrive
TQ-RoboDrive develops high-torque frameless servo-motor kits and custom actuators for robotics. TQ-RoboDrive packages stator and rotor sets for direct integration into compact joints, wheels and mechanisms. The TQ Group operating unit traces the technology to German Aerospace Center research and supports humanoids, cobots, exoskeletons and automation with motor sizing, downloads and custom actuator engineering.
Its current documentation covers product selection, system integration and support for robot oems, with applications and configuration limits tied to the relevant hardware or software family.
