Abstract: A combined electric motor and motor drive are provided. The electric motor and motor drive are attached together to form a co-packaged unit. In the co-packaged electric motor and motor drive, both the motor drive and the electric motor generate heat. A thermoelectric cooler is provided that may transfer heat away from the motor drive. The thermoelectric cooler may also insulate the motor drive from the heat generated by the motor.

Abstract: A self-contained actuator for use in a robot manipulator includes: a housing, in which are arranged in axial sequence a gear, a motor, a brake, a sensor and a motor drive. The motor drive includes wide-bandgap/WBG electronics and is arranged in heat-dissipating relationship with a free end of the housing. Through the motor and some further components, there is provided a central channel for receiving a cable connected to at least one further actuator of the robot manipulator. The channel may be angled or straight. In embodiments where the motor drive is hollow, the central channel extends between the axial ends of the actuator. There is further provided an all-in-one industrial robot comprising a robot manipulator, in which one or more self-contained actuators with the above characteristics are installed and a robot controller is physically integrated.
