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 or either elevation-over-azimuth or cross-axis configuration—the difference is in the sign of the interaxis and/or interface bracket or brackets.

Our extensive product offering of Linear Actuators are flexible and customizable to your specific needs. For more information on Linear Actuators, or this specific model please contact our Chatsworth facility.
