Global Frameless Torque Motor for Humanoid Robot Rotating Joint Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Frameless Torque Motor for Humanoid Robot Rotating Joint market size is predicted to grow from US$ 196 million in 2025 to US$ 976 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25.9% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global Frameless Torque Motors for Robotic Arm production reached approximately 571.4 k units with an average global market price of around US$350 per unit.Frameless torque motor is a permanent magnet servo motor specially designed for integrated drive. Its core features are ‌ without traditional motor shell, bearing and encoder ‌. It is only composed of two parts: stator (external steel sheet and copper winding) and rotor (internal permanent magnet steel ring) ‌45. By embedding directly into the robot joint structure, the motor can output high torque and precise motion control to meet the requirements of rotating joints for compact space and high dynamic response.

The future industry development trend for the frameless torque motor for humanoid robot rotating joints points to the technological route of integrated joint modules and the stage of scaled mass production. During its third-quarter 2025 earnings call, Kinco Automation disclosed that the main driver of its robotics business growth is the rapid development of humanoid robots and other related directions. Sales of frameless torque motors in the first three quarters increased significantly year-on-year, pushing the revenue share of its robotics business to exceed half of the company's total revenue for the first time. The company has explicitly focused on motion control solutions for both legged and wheeled humanoid robots, with core products including frameless torque motors, hollow shaft drives, and planetary gearboxes. Leadshine Technology explicitly stated in its 2025 board of directors' work report that its frameless torque motor business has begun explosive growth, with annual deliveries exceeding 120,000 units. The company's core robotics components have entered the supply chains of 80 percent of mainstream domestic humanoid robot manufacturers, and it is currently constructing automated production capacity of two million units per year. Weiguang Holdings revealed during its 2025 earnings call that the robotic joint modules developed by its wholly-owned subsidiary have passed verification by individual complete machine manufacturers and have entered the small-batch delivery stage. These modules integrate frameless torque motors with components such as encoders. The policy front also provides clear support. The Science, Technology and Economy Commission of Shanghai Pudong New Area issued a special application notice, providing support not exceeding a certain percentage of the first batch sales contract value for enterprises undertaking the industrialization of frameless torque motors for humanoid robots. The Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area has also explicitly provided subsidies based on a percentage of supply value to enterprises that supply core components, including servo motors, to robot complete machine manufacturers. In summary, the major trends in the frameless torque motor industry for humanoid robot rotating joints are as follows: the technological route is upgrading from single motor sales to integrated joint modules that incorporate reducers and encoders; the profit focus is shifting from general-purpose products to high-torque-density specialized motors; and a company's revenue growth and profit margins will depend on its progress in industrializing core areas such as magnetic circuit optimization design, process consistency control, and module integration capabilities.
