EYOU PHA08L-101-C harmonic joint module

At 207 g and Φ43, the PHA08L is the frame you use when a finger or a wrist roll has to be actuated and nothing else fits. 1.65 N·m rated, 6.3 N·m instantaneous ceiling, one ratio only: 101:1.

When this is the right choice

  • 207 g with a full harmonic stage. The smallest frame in our catalogue; a planetary of similar torque is lighter still but carries backlash, and this one does not.
  • 24–36 V. Runs off the same battery as a hand or a small mobile base rather than needing a 48 V rail.
  • High reduction at a small diameter. 101:1 in Φ43 means the motor sits inside the joint instead of beside it — useful when the axis is inside a forearm.
  • Same protocol and connector family as the rest of PHA and PHU, so a finger built on PHA08L and an elbow built on PHA17H share one controller.

When it is the wrong choice

  • 6.3 N·m is the hard ceiling. Anything that can be back-driven by hand, hit a stop or take a fall will exceed it — use a clutch or a compliant mount, not a bigger current limit.
  • No ratio choice. The PHA series is 101:1 across all four frames, so if you need a faster output you change frame or series, not ratio.
  • Not a candidate for grip force. Fingers closing on an object want 5–30 N·m at the knuckle — step up to PHA14H or use a hand with the actuator built in.

PHA08L-101-C FAQ

What would I actually use a 1.65 N·m harmonic joint for?

Finger proximal joints, wrist roll on a small arm, camera pan-tilt axes and the last axis of a light manipulator — anywhere you need zero backlash and a hollow-ish centre at a couple of hundred grams. It is not a load-bearing axis.

Is there a brake?

Not on this frame. Below Φ52 the PHA series is documented without a power-off brake, so if the axis has to hold position with power removed, plan a mechanical counterbalance or move to a PHU frame from Φ52 up.

How long does it take to ship?

Confirmed per order at quotation — it depends on the connector and cable build and on what the factory has on the shelf that week. The quotation carries the ship date we are working to.
