Product Description
Encoder Code Disk Fixing Ring for Humanoid Robots: Precision CNC Machining China Solution
The encoder code disk fixing ring is a critical precision component in humanoid robot rotary actuators, specifically designed to securely mount and protect the encoder code disk. Within the robot joint module, this fixing ring engages with the encoder readhead base through an interference fit method, maintaining a constant gap (typically controlled within 0.1-0.3mm range) between the code disk and readhead, preventing displacement deviations caused by vibration or temperature changes. Our fixing rings are manufactured using CNC precision machining technology in China, with strict dimensional tolerance control (typically maintained within ±0.005mm) and dynamic balance testing, ensuring no vibration noise is introduced in high-speed rotation environments (up to 10,000 RPM).
As the core positioning element of the encoder system, the machining quality of the fixing ring directly affects the accuracy of position feedback signals. We use aerospace-grade aluminum alloy material (7075-T6) and special surface hardening treatment processes, enabling the product to achieve both lightweight (density only 2.8g/cm³) and high strength (tensile strength up to 572MPa) characteristics, capable of withstanding impact loads from frequent start-stop operations of robot joints. The product surface undergoes anodizing treatment (black) with laser engraving of "SINBO" identification, ensuring both aesthetics and excellent corrosion resistance.
Key Features
- Precision Machining with Strict Tolerances: Our encoder code disk fixing rings are manufactured using CNC precision machining technology in China, ensuring dimensional tolerances are strictly controlled within ±0.005mm. This precision machining guarantees the cooperation accuracy between the fixing ring and code disk, avoiding code disk shaking or readhead gap不均匀 caused by dimensional deviations. The fixing ring's roundness error is less than 0.003mm, ensuring excellent dynamic balance performance during high-speed rotation, reducing vibration and noise.
- High Stability and Reliability: The fixing ring employs a thermal expansion coefficient matching design, ensuring consistent expansion rates between the metal ring and glass/metal code disk during temperature changes, preventing cooperation loosening or stress accumulation due to temperature fluctuations. The product undergoes rigorous environmental adaptability testing, including temperature cycling (-40℃ to +85℃), vibration testing (5-2000Hz frequency range), and endurance testing (over 10 million insertion-extraction cycles), ensuring stable performance in various harsh environments.
- Premium Materials and Surface Treatment: We select aerospace-grade aluminum alloy 7075-T6 as the base material, known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio (tensile strength 572MPa, density only 2.8g/cm³) and good machinability. The surface undergoes hard anodizing treatment (thickness 25±5μm), forming a hard, wear-resistant, insulating oxide layer with surface hardness up to HV400, significantly improving the product's wear and corrosion resistance.
- Design Optimization and Integration Convenience: The fixing ring features a hollow lightweight design, ensuring structural strength while minimizing weight (approximately 60% lighter than traditional stainless steel), helping reduce the rotational inertia of robot joints and improve dynamic response speed. The product design considers installation convenience, providing specialized installation guidance structures and error-proofing designs, making the assembly process more efficient and less prone to code disk damage.
- Strict Quality Control and Testing: Each fixing ring undergoes 100% full inspection, including dimensional measurement, appearance检查, dynamic balance testing, and material verification, ensuring only qualified products are delivered to customers. We establish a complete product traceability system, with each part having a unique batch number identifier that traces the entire quality information process from raw materials to finished products.

Applications
- Humanoid Robot Joint Modules: Encoder code disk fixing rings are widely used in various humanoid robot rotary joint actuators, particularly in shoulder, hip, and wrist joints that require precise positioning. In these applications, the fixing ring ensures accurate positioning of joint motor encoders, providing reliable position feedback for the robot's complex movements. Optimus humanoid robots require such precision fixing rings in all 28 degree-of-freedom joints.
- Industrial Robot Precision Reducers: In the industrial robot field, our fixing rings are used in encoder systems of harmonic reducers and precision planetary reducers. These reducers require extremely high positioning accuracy (typically within ±1 arc-second), and the stable performance of fixing rings ensures long-term reliability under high reduction ratios. Particularly in welding, spraying, and precision assembly robots, the performance of fixing rings directly affects final product quality.
- Collaborative Robot Joint Modules: Collaborative robots (Cobots) require smooth movement and precise control of joints due to direct interaction with humans. Our fixing rings are used in collaborative robot joint modules, ensuring accurate reading of torque sensors, enabling adaptive force control and collision detection functions. The KIE series hollow absolute encoders use fixing rings with similar structures.
- Precision Optical Encoder Systems: Beyond robotics, our fixing rings are widely used in various high-precision optical encoder systems, including CNC machine tools, semiconductor equipment, medical instruments, and aerospace control systems. These applications require fixing rings with exceptional temperature stability and vibration resistance, which our products achieve through special design and material selection.
- Servo Motors and Actuators: Modern servo motors and linear actuators commonly use high-resolution encoders as position feedback devices, where our fixing rings play a key role in encoder assembly. Particularly in frameless torque motors, fixing rings need to meet both compact size and high precision requirements, which is exactly where our products excel.
