Robotic surgical assemblies
A robotic surgical system includes a robotic arm, a carriage coupled to the robotic arm, a drive belt, and a motor supported by the carriage. The carriage rotatably supports an instrument rotation pulley and a motor axis pulley. The drive belt is coupled to the instrument rotation pulley and the motor axis pulley. The motor includes a coupling that is driven by the motor upon an actuation of the motor. The coupling is engaged with the motor axis pulley such that rotation of the motor axis pulley rotates the drive belt to rotate the instrument rotation pulley.
