Cryogenic Fine Positioning Linear Actuator
The Cryogenic Fine Positioning Actuator product is designed to produce very small linear output steps using conventional actuator technology. Actuation is accomplished by using a small angle stepper motor coupled to a large gear reduction transmission. The linear excursion is accomplished with a fine preloaded leadscrew mechanism to eliminate backlash.
Key Features:
- High resolution and accuracy
- Redundant, 3-phase stepper motor
- High gear ratio gear transmission
- Sealed bellows assembly at the output
- Drive components based on existing heritage hardware
- Designed to operate in Cryogenic space environment
- Pre loaded 2 piece output member
