For robotics & humanoid teams
The joints are the bottleneck. We source them.
Actuation is half the cost of a humanoid and the hardest to buy. Pricing is opaque, lead times run weeks, and the best suppliers are on the other side of the world. Describe the joint and the agent brings back ranked, comparable quotes.
Parts we go deep on
We carry the full robot BOM, with a hand-built supplier base on the joint-actuation parts that bottleneck your build.
Strain-wave gears for high-ratio, zero-backlash joints. The single most cost-opaque, lead-time-critical part in a humanoid.
Cycloidal reducers for heavy base and shoulder joints, where torque density and stiffness matter most.
Compact, efficient reduction for quasi-direct-drive legs and arms.
Linear actuation for the highest-force joints. The most import-dependent part in the stack, and the hardest to source.
The driving element of every joint. Sourced to your torque, voltage and envelope.
Hollow absolute and incremental encoders for closed-loop joint control.
Wrist and ankle sensing for compliant control and manipulation.
Motor, reducer, encoder and driver packaged, sourced as one spec.
Why robotics teams source through Linkway
Torque, ratio, backlash, envelope, quantity. The agent structures it and matches it against real supplier capability.
The speed and price of the China supply chain, with certifications, inspection and export-control surfaced upfront.
A backup supplier on every critical joint, so a single factory slip doesn't stall your build.
