Aerospace & Defense – Miniature DC Motion Control Applications

 

High altitude, varying atmospheric conditions, extremely high or low temperature, and operation in a vacuum are just some of the challenges facing aviation and aerospace design engineers. From scientific research instruments aboard the space shuttle to cockpit instrumentation to flight control applications, MICROMO's miniature DC motion control systems perform reliably and precisely in environments in which other types of DC drives would fail. Modifications to the bearing and gear-train lubrication, as well as Teflon leads of varying lengths and gauges are just a few of the standard value-added services from MICROMO.
The FAULHABER Group products are used in the following applications:

  • Aircraft instrumentation
  • Flap controls
  • Flight recorders
  • Flight simulators
  • Gyros
  • High altitude cameras
  • Infrared pyrometers
  • Radar
  • Range finders
  • Thermal imagers
  • Space Applications
