Motors, gears, sensors, drives and controllers, all of which are included in the lineup of the Nidec group, are not only indispensable for these specialized service robots but also integral to functions that greatly influence their performance.

The Nidec group also has a range of servo amplifiers and gears that are offered both as stand-alone parts, combined modules and units equipped with controllers.

In addition to the brushless DC motors that form the core of our business, our capabilities also include high reduction ratio low noise reduction gears with minimal backlash. What sets us apart from our competitors is our ability to combine these components into modules and units optimized for the specific development plans of each individual customer by participating in the development process and the specification development of the actual end product service robot.
