Highlights

01Zero backlash
Brushless servo drive with no rotational play
Brushless motors replace stepper actuation and 22-bit encoders close the loop, so the axis carries no backlash and the controller counters external disturbance rather than absorbing it.
- Resolution 0.002°, pointing accuracy 0.04°
- N × 360° continuous pan, ±45° tilt

02Low power
10 W draw in smart driving mode
The catalogue rates the unit at 10 W in its smart driving mode, which matters where the positioner runs off a vehicle battery or a field power budget rather than mains.
- 9 kg unit, 18–32 V supply
- Up to 135 Nm nominal tilt torque by configuration
