GIM6010-8 + Tinymovr R5.3: Compact High-Torque Actuation

We've integrated the GIM6010-8 planetary gearmotor with Tinymovr R5.3 to create one of the most compact high-torque actuator setups we've tested. The result: 5Nm continuous torque (11Nm peak) in a 370g package.

The GIM6010-8 is a brushless planetary gearmotor with an 8:1 gearbox. Combined with Tinymovr R5.3's field-oriented control and integrated absolute encoder, it delivers precise position, velocity, and torque control in a tight form factor - ideal for robot arms, manipulation systems, and applications where space is constrained.

We're releasing the full integration kit and video walkthrough. The kit includes the Tinymovr R5.3 controller, custom 3D-printed mounting bracket, and mounting hardware. The video covers mechanical assembly, wiring, calibration procedure, and control setup.
