About

About Linker Hand L30

Linker Hand L30 uses tendon transmission across 18 active and four passive degrees of freedom. CAN FD and Mini-USB interfaces support development and 500 Hz command updates, while high-resolution encoders and tendon-tension control provide closed-loop joint regulation.

The current product page specifies 1,192 g mass, 15 kg maximum load, 24 V ±10% input and 0.2 s opening/closing. Published forces are 6.5 N at the thumb, 9 N at each of the four fingers and 39 N for a five-finger grasp. These current figures replace older L30 specifications previously attached to the profile.
