About

About TS20 Tactile Servo

TS20 is an ultra-miniaturized integrated robot joint that combines a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, reduction stage, triple encoder and drive electronics. KingKong describes the triple-encoder architecture as providing high-sensitivity force feedback and backdrivability, allowing the joint itself to provide proprioceptive force information without a separate external torque sensor.

The official launch positions TS20 for dexterous hands, small and desktop robots, precision automation, medical robots and aerospace miniature servos. The current material describes a thumb-sized package, 3–4× overload capability and commercial availability. Exact dimensions, mass, ratios and electrical interfaces remain attached to the current datasheet rather than being generalized beyond its named configurations.
