Model-L 3 Phase Image

The Model-L 3 Phase from Moog is a Gimbal that can be configured for wide rotation on both axes with a total rotational range of +/- 36 degrees (X & Y axis). This gimbal thruster assembly has an angular resolution of 0.00625-0.0075 degrees and an angular velocity of 1.9-2.25 degrees/sec. It has an incremental angular accuracy of +/- 0.003 degrees and an absolute angular accuracy of 0.012-0.015 degrees. The gimbal assembly requires a supply voltage of 24-32 VDC and has a maximum power consumption of 18 W. It features dual axis gimbal driven by rotary actuators for cross-axis positioning, a potentiometer for position telemetry, and space-qualified stepper motors with harmonic drive transmission. The gimbal thruster assembly weighs 6 Kg and measures 254 x 250 x 250 mm. It provides vector-pointing capabilities for various propulsion thruster configurations including Xenon, Arc-jet, and NTO/MMH, and has successfully been used for orbit raising and station keeping of heavier payload satellites.
