# getactuators: full catalog > Open, spec-level directory of robot actuators (QDD motors, integrated joints, smart servos, harmonic and cycloidal reducers) and the robots that use them. 68 actuators from 30 brands in 6 categories, plus 6 robots with the motor in each joint. Data last updated 2026-09-26. Numbers come from manufacturer pages and datasheets; entries marked unverified have not been spot-checked. Index: https://getactuators.com/llms.txt. ## When to use getactuators - Pick an actuator for a quadruped leg, humanoid joint or robot arm given a torque, weight or budget target (filter by use_case, min_peak_torque_nm, max_weight_g, max_price_usd). - Rank actuators by torque density, price per Nm, backlash or speed. - Compare two or more specific actuators side by side (peak and rated torque, gear ratio, weight, voltage, bus, encoder, price). - Find which motors a real robot uses in each joint, or which robots use a given actuator. - Look up one actuator's datasheet-level specs with source links before recommending it. - MCP: connect a Streamable HTTP client to https://getactuators.com/mcp (no auth). Tools: search_actuators, get_actuator, compare_actuators, recommend_actuators, list_actuator_categories, list_brands, list_robots, get_robot, find_robots_using_actuator. - REST: GET https://getactuators.com/api/v1/actuators?use_case=quadruped_leg&sort=torque_density_nm_per_kg returns JSON, no key needed. - Markdown: append .md to any page URL, or send Accept: text/markdown. ## QDD / Proprioceptive Quasi-direct-drive motors with low gear ratios;
