Gimbals

Gimbals for Spacecraft

Moog Biaxial Gimbals are well suited for performing electric-propulsion thruster articulation, spaceflight tracking, scanning, and positioning functions. Applications include solar array drives, antenna positioners, and optical telescope and instrument drives.

The gimbals are designed in modular fashion, making it easy to create units, elevation-over-azimuth configuration, or cross-axis configuration—the difference is in the sign of the interaxis and/or interface bracket or brackets.
