Highlights

The PED08 drive connector and its lanyard

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
