Model 935 Rotary Actuator
ROTARY SERVO ACTUATOR
The Model 935 rotary servo actuators utilize brushless DC motors as the prime mover within our design. The available motor technology include use of neodymium magnets. The Model 935 servo is used for surface positioning, throttle control and other utility functions on several UAV and aerospace programs. These actuators are designed to operate under extreme environmental conditions and have been chosen to support new development programs, as well as program requirements.
Our Model 935 is one of our most versatile actuator designs primarily due to the ease of integration with several interface technologies. This baseline unit is very well suited for a variety of applications and is not limited to UAV and target programs.
