YASKAWA HW9381634-A – T-Axis Speed Reducer | Motoman Robot Drive Platform
Engineering Background
The T-axis (Tool axis / Wrist Roll axis) is the terminal rotational joint of a Motoman articulated robot arm, directly governing end-effector orientation and repeatability. Precision in this axis is non-negotiable for welding, assembly, and material-handling applications where angular deviation of even ±0.01° translates to scrap or rework. YASKAWA engineered the HW9381634-A as the OEM-specified speed reducer for this critical joint, delivering the torque density and backlash control demanded by 24/7 production environments.
Product Positioning
The HW9381634-A is a direct-replacement, factory-specification T-axis speed reducer sourced through verified industrial supply channels. It is stocked and dispatched by Konmask.com to minimize robot downtime for maintenance engineers and procurement teams worldwide.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
In a Motoman 6-axis robot, servo motor torque is transmitted through the T-axis speed reducer to the wrist flange. The reducer multiplies torque while proportionally reducing speed, enabling the servo to operate in its optimal efficiency band. The HW9381634-A sits between the T-axis servo motor output shaft and the robot wrist flange, with the YASKAWA servo amplifier (SGDV/SGDH series) closing the position loop via encoder feedback. Correct reducer installation ensures the encoder zero-point and mechanical zero remain aligned, preserving the robot’s calibrated kinematic model.
Signal path: Servo Amplifier → T-Axis Servo Motor → HW9381634-A Speed Reducer → Wrist Flange → End-Effector
