The structure can improve the robustness of the structure; when the load of the direct drive motor is distributed on one side of the rotating shaft of the direct drive motor, the offset of the gravity center of the load enables servo gain parameters of the motor at each position to be inconsistent, and the working stability and precision of the motor are influenced. By adopting the structure, the load weight distribution of the motor can be balanced, the center of gravity of the load is basically positioned at the rotation axis of the motor, the servo gain of each position is basically consistent, and the working stability and the precision of the motor are greatly improved.
