About DYNAMIXEL X Series
DYNAMIXEL X modules combine a motor, gearbox, encoder, controller and network interface in one servo. XW, XD, XH, XM, XC and XL families provide different torque, speed, voltage and environmental configurations, while hollow rear housings and direct accessory mounting simplify cabling and mechanical integration.
Operating modes include position, extended position, velocity, PWM and model-specific current or current-based position control. Each actuator returns position, velocity, current, temperature and movement status through the DYNAMIXEL protocol, allowing many joints to share a daisy-chained bus. SDKs, configuration software and ROS tooling support arms, mobile robots, humanoids and educational platforms.
