Abstract

A robot joint includes an electric drive motor and step-down transmission ranged in a tubular inner part. The output of the step-down transmission is coupled to a tubular outer part coaxially surrounding the inner part. The outer part is guided on the inner part by bearings. The joint can be disassembled axially after screw connections holding the tubular parts together are loosened.
