Highlights
Why This Model
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 0.02°, pointing accuracy 0.12°
- 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, 18–48 V supply
- Up to 400 Nm momentary peak torque
03Qualification
MIL-STD-461G EMI/EMC across the test set
Compliance covers conducted emissions and susceptibility, radiated emissions and radiated susceptibility, which is what allows the unit to sit next to a radio or radar without interfering.
- CE102, CS101, CS114/115/116/118, RE102, RS103
- IP65, 120 km/h wind load, MIL-STD-810G
