Where it fits in the robot
A disclosed partnership with Humanoid includes actuator supply. Bearings, transmissions, sensors, and manufacturing capabilities support an integrated motion offering.
What the evidence establishes
Humanoid evidenceThe Humanoid partnership includes actuator development and supply. This is evidence for joint systems, not a confirmed finger or tendon supplier.
An explicit humanoid product, development program, application, or partnership. This does not establish revenue, market share, or production volumes.

Keep in perspective
Humanoid partnerships are developing; automotive and industrial operations remain important to the group.
Diversified business exposure. This describes the breadth or role of the business; it is not an investment rating. A robotics product or development announcement does not by itself establish material humanoid revenue, market share, or future returns.
Connections to the assembly
These links explain the technology relationship. The model is illustrative and does not represent an actual manufacturer’s bill of materials.
Housing & mounting flange
A rigid enclosure locates the motor and transfers heat and mechanical loads into the robot link.
Scope of the company links: Integrated actuator developers; a housing is part of the system. These are not verified standalone casting suppliers.
Output bearing
Rolling elements support radial and axial joint loads while keeping the output aligned.
Scope of the company links: Bearing suppliers supporting rotating joints. Exact bearing type and fit depend on the robot and gearbox design.
Outer bearing race
The outer race locates the bearing in its housing and provides one of the rolling-contact surfaces.
Scope of the company links: Complete bearing manufacturers; their products incorporate races. This is not a list of independent race-ring subcontractors.
Rolling elements & cage
Rolling elements carry loads with low friction; a cage maintains their spacing.
Scope of the company links: Rolling-bearing products integrate rolling elements and cages. Designs may use balls, rollers, or crossed rollers.
Inner race & shaft interface
The inner ring interfaces with a shaft or moving link. Stiffness and precision affect how accurately a robot holds position.
Scope of the company links: Bearing manufacturers with robot-relevant products; a specific inner-race supply agreement is not asserted.
