ACTILINK – High-Performance Integrated Servo Actuators

Compact design. Exceptional torque density. Intelligent motion.

The Synapticon ACTILINK family represents an advanced approach to integrated servo actuation, combining powerful motors, precision gearing, high-resolution position feedback and intelligent control technology.

One of its key advantages is the hollow-shaft architecture, which allows cables, communication lines and other connections to pass directly through the actuator.

This enables engineers to develop cleaner, more compact and mechanically efficient systems, particularly in multi-axis robotic assemblies and applications where installation space is limited.

ACTILINK-JD – Dynamic Performance for Advanced Robotics


The ACTILINK-JD series is engineered for applications requiring high torque density, precise motion control and excellent dynamic response.

Depending on the configuration, these actuators combine integrated planetary gearing, high-resolution absolute encoders and EtherCAT communication in a compact mechanical package.

Technical highlights:

  • Rated power from 170 W to 1 kW, depending on the series
  • Rated torque from 6 to 40 Nm for selected JD models
  • Compact hollow-shaft construction
  • High-resolution absolute position feedback
  • Single- and dual-encoder configurations
  • EtherCAT communication
  • Functional safety options, depending on configuration

The ACTILINK-JD DUO series extends these capabilities with a two-stage planetary gearbox and dual-encoder architecture, supporting advanced position monitoring and precision motion control.


ACTILINK-JP – Precision Meets High Torque


When high torque, accurate positioning and compact dimensions are essential.

The ACTILINK-JP series combines powerful servo technology with precision gearing to deliver outstanding positioning performance in demanding applications.

With nominal torque ratings of up to 137 Nm and peak torque ratings of up to 411 Nm, depending on the model, these actuators provide substantial mechanical output within a compact design.

High-resolution 19-bit or 20-bit encoder options enable precise position feedback, while EtherCAT communication with CiA 402 support facilitates integration into industrial automation architectures.

Technical highlights:

  • Nominal torque up to 137 Nm
  • Peak torque up to 411 Nm
  • High-resolution absolute encoder options
  • Precision gearing for accurate positioning
  • Hollow-shaft diameters of 11 mm or 18 mm
  • EtherCAT communication with CiA 402 support
  • Advanced monitoring and collision detection capabilities, depending on configuration

The ACTILINK-JP series is particularly attractive for applications requiring a combination of high mechanical performance, compact dimensions and precise positioning.

Typical applications: Precision robotics, automated assembly, medical equipment, inspection systems and advanced handling solutions.
