Two-axis gear-drive gimbals are economical and accurate
Aerotech's AMG-GR gear-driven motorised gimbals provide economical, high-accuracy elevation-over-azimuth positioning. The AMG-GR is available in a variety of standard travel ranges in both azimuth and elevation to fit any application. Furthermore, the versatility of the design means that customised travels are easily accommodated. A variety of accuracy grades, motor types and cell designs make the motorised gimbals suitable for applications ranging from sensor calibration to laser beam steering.
The AMG-GR standard circular cells range from 100mm to 300mm in diameter. Cell mounting options include a centred (balanced) cell or a front-surface reflection option where the front of the optic is located on the axes of rotation. Special configurations are available to accommodate non-circular optics, cameras, sensors and round optics larger than 300mm in diameter. The modular design permits each gimbal mirror cell to be easily modified or replaced with different shaped cells to accommodate sensors or other asymmetrically-shaped payloads.
Aerotech's AMG-GR can be equipped with brushless servo or stepper motors. A full range of matching drives and controls are available for a complete single-source system. For applications that require high accuracy and repeatability, an encoder can be mounted directly on the cell and yoke. Vacuum-compatible versions are also offered.
