Choosing the Right Gearbox
Selecting the right motor, sensors, and gearbox for antenna positioning is crucial for satellite tracking. When developing custom satellite antenna motion control solutions, it’s important to consider:
- Torque multiplication: Gearboxes with higher torque capacity, like our GPL robotic planetary gearbox, are uniquely suited to moving large, heavy antenna reflectors.
- Precision motion control: Our gearboxes offer high precision gearing required for smooth, accurate movements even when handling large or heavy objects like reflectors or parabolic dishes.
- High shock load absorption: Satellite antenna systems typically require gearing equipment that can handle stress from high winds and other harsh environmental factors. Our GCL series cycloidal gearboxes offer high shock load absorption that allows for precise antenna movements even in stressful conditions.
Our servo gearboxes offer compact, high-torque, low-backlash gearing, which is critical for antenna testing and positioning. Low- or zero-backlash ensures smooth, precise motion for accurate satellite tracking.
Precision Gearboxes for Satellite Antenna Applications
GAM Enterprises manufactures high-precision gearboxes that can be used in various satellite antenna applications, whether you’re working with compact ground-based satellites like VSATs or deep space satellites. We offer:
- Planetary gearboxes: Our GPL Robotic Planetary Gearbox GPL achieves 3x longer life than standard gearbox options (about 20,000 hours). It also operates flawlessly even in temperature extremes, suitable for both polar and desert environments.
- Harmonic gearboxes: Our GSL Strain Wave Gearbox uses harmonic type gearing for high precision and high torque density and is easy to integrate in applications like compact (multi-axis positioners) MAPs used for antenna testing.
- Cycloidal gearboxes: Offering superior shock absorption, our cycloidal gearboxes like our GCL series are ideal for satellite antenna applications in environments with high winds.
