Gimbals
Featured Products
Biaxial Gimbal Assembly
Moog biaxial gimbals are well suited for performing spaceflight tracking, scanning, and positioning functions. Applications include solar array drives, antenna positioners, and optical telescope and instrument drives. The biaxial gimbal supports and positions the majority of larger payloads and can be configured for limited rotation with the inclusion of range-defining hard stops on actuator outputs or for continuous rotation on one or both axes with the integration of a slip ring assembly.
Electric Propulsion Gimbal Thruster Assembly
Moog compliments its gimbal line by providing additional sized electric propulsion (ep) thruster gimbal assemblies that range from small to large, and one intended to point various sized ep thruster engines. The gimbals can be configured for wide rotation on both axes, limited with the inclusion of range defining hard stops on the thruster axes. Moog has qualified and flown the widest angular range thruster gimbals.
Ion Thruster Gimbal
Moog developed a gimballing mechanism designed to provide the thrust vector maneuvering for Hayabusa’s Ion thrusters compatible with electric propulsion technology. The amount of mass the gimbal was designed to carry from Earth to space was significantly large as compared to the allocated weight budget of the gimbal.
