MANIPULATOR DEVICE

The invention relates to an operating device (2), such as an industrial robot. The operating device can bear the force and moment of a load; the device is provided with at least one operating arm (4).The device is provided with at least two arm bodies (6) which can move relative to each other. The robot is provided with at least one joint (8) arranged between two arm bodies (6). Wherein the two arm bodies (6) can be rotated relative to each other about a rotational or pivot axis (10) by means of the joint, and having at least one drive unit (12), the device comprises at least one electromagnetic driving device (14). Wherein the electromagnetic drive means are arranged on the actuating arm (4) in the region of the joint (8) and can be or is associated with the joint (8), wherein the stator(16) is arranged on one of the two arm bodies (6) in a rotationally fixed manner, and the rotor (18) is arranged on the other of the two arm bodies (6) in a rotationally fixed manner. The stator andthe rotor are rotatable rel
