The EYOU RHU14L-52 is a 48 V harmonic-drive robot joint actuator for humanoid robot joints. It combines a harmonic reducer, built-in driver, and dual absolute encoder, with 50, 80, or 100 reduction-ratio options and with-brake or without-brake selections. EtherCAT and CANopen communication, multiple control modes, and compact 52 Ă 65 mm dimensions support integration into robot-joint designs.
Features
Harmonic reducer with a built-in driver.
Dual absolute encoder: motor side 17-bit and reducer side 19-bit.
Power (DC in/DC out), CAN FD (In/Out), EtherCAT (In/Out), and STO (1, 2) driver interfaces; see terminal model description.
Selectable 50, 80, and 100 reduction ratios, with brake and non-brake options.
Control modes: Profile Position (PP), Profile Velocity (PV), Profile Torque (PT), Cyclic Synchronous Position (CSP), Cyclic Synchronous Velocity (CSV), etc.

The product is labeled RHU14L-52. RHU14L-52 has a connector-equipped end face with multiple rectangular ports.RHU is identified as a Humanoid Harmonic Drive Robot Actuator series.
Application Examples
The RHU series is built for bionic joints of humanoid robots. The RHU series targets light-load, high-frequency commercial scenarios.
Interfaces and Connections
The humanoid-specific architecture offers terminal-block and flying-lead standard interfaces. The interfaces support flexible electrical integration of the joint module.
Features and Design
The RHU series is claimed to reduce weight and volume by up to 30% compared with traditional models. The RHU series is described as providing very high torque output from a small body.A dual safety system integrates a standards-compliant Safety Torque Off (STO) function and an electromagnetic brake. The dual safety system is described as providing protection from the signal layer to the physical layer for humanoid robot joints.
