The Type 55 Biaxial Gimbal from Moog is an Antenna Pointing Mechanism that has an output torque of 50 Nm and a holding torque of 55 Nm. This mechanism has an output step size of 0.0075 degrees and a power of 17 W per axis. It uses a potentiometer position sensor with a linearity of +/- 1.5 degrees and has an inertia capability of greater than 400 Kg.m2. This two-axis gimbal can be configured for a limited range of rotation by the inclusion of range-defining hard stops on the actuator outputs. It has a mass of 7.5 Kg and is ideal for supporting and positioning the majority of larger payloads.
