Award Data

Integrate emerging technologies of combination electromagnetic motor bearings, fault tolerant design and vibration isolation into a single, compact spherical actuator design. The resulting technology will provide low weight, reliable, two rotational and three translational motion control of sensitive payloads, and graceful degradation in system performance via fault tolerant control.

Current DoD sensor systems employ mechanical bearings in their gimbals to provide slow scan functionality. Mechanical bearings inherently possess a finite life and commonly suffer decreased reliability due to mechanical wear, excessive vibration and inadequate lubrication. The vacuum and temperature extremes of space provide significant technical challenges to these devices in life and pointing ...
