Gearmotors & Dampers
Gearmotors & Dampers
The Avior product line offers a complete set of high-performance, high-reliability motion control components for Space and Aerospace environments. All motors and component are designed as individual modules that work independently or integrated together, using standardized materials and precision tolerances to provide the most cost-effective and high-reliability solution for the most extreme environments. Operation has been demonstrated over temperatures of 4 Kelvin to +280º C, and in vibration environments of over 130 grms. While critical internal dimensions are standardized, the Avior line can accommodate custom mounting and output interfaces, tailored to specific application requirements.
Space Rated Cog-less and Conventional Direct Drive Motors are ideal for precision applications where large through bore must be maximized, torque ripple disturbances must be minimized or the drive configuration does not allow for a geared actuator.
Housed Brushless DC Motors are much more efficient and capable of driving high load inertias, compared to Stepper Motor Actuators.
With high torque-to-mass ratio and simple control methods, stepper motors are the motor of choice for many incremental control applications in the space industry.
The Avior advanced Eddy Current Damper (ECD) provides higher damping per unit volume, with lower mechanical and total static friction than competing technologies.
The Avior line of complementary components includes Linear Torque Modules (LTM’s) that convert the rotary motion of an Avior motor into reliable and accurate linear translation.
