Introduction to the Saturn Deep-Sea Hydraulic Manipulator:

Featuring a highly integrated valve block design with no exposed hydraulic piping. The main body weighs approximately 62 kg, with a maximum jaw closure force of 4,500 N, a wrist rotation torque of 170 Nm, and a maximum outreach of 1,920 mm. It can handle loads of up to 455 kg, meeting the demands of large-scale, heavy-load operations. Suitable for harsh environments such as deep-sea (7,000 meters) and places with high radiation, high voltage and hazardous materials, it replaces human being in demanding, dangerous and critical tasks.

Utilizing fully self-designed servo rotary actuators and motors to drive joints:

The TX series vane-type swing actuators employs a special configuration and material selection for sealing, reducing leakage from the high-pressure chamber to the low-pressure one to nearly zero, significantly enhancing cylinder efficiency. It allows the output shaft to withstand substantial axial and radial loads, meeting the demands of various applications.

The hypercycloidal motor(Gerotor) is a high-performance LSHT motor.
