A robotic arm of an industrial robot includes successive links connected by joints having respective drives and associated transmissions for moving the links. First and second links have respective first and second housings that transfer forces and moments arising from the weight of the robotic arm, or a load carried by the arm, to adjacent links. A first drive rotatably connecting the first and second links includes a drive housing, a rotor, and a stator connected to the drive housing. The drive housing is fastened to the first housing of the first link and forms an external wall of the robotic arm. The transmission associated with the first drive includes an input link that is joined with the rotor of the first drive. An output of the first drive is connected to a flange that is fastened to the second housing and rotatable relative to the drive housing. |
