Harmonic Drive gears to touch down on Mars
Astrium selected Harmonic Drive gears, from Heason Technologies Group, for five axes of motion control on the instrument arm of the Beagle 2 Mars lander, which is scheduled to touchdown in 2003
The Thomson Micron planetary gearheads are available as inline and right angle units with torques ranging up to 3101Nm.
Ratios for the inline models cover from 3:1 to 100:1 whilst the right angle gearheads span 1:1 to 50:1.
Features include steel gears hardened to HRC 55-60 for added robustness and longer life.
Some models also have Thomson Micron's "RediMount" technology that permits mounting to any motor.
In all, there are seven gearhead lines, giving Heason scope to fine tune product selection according to application requirements according to such criteria as backlash characteristics and radial loads.
Metric and NEMA options are available.
"We are constantly looking at ways of providing superior servo solutions for our clients".
comments David Wheeler, managing director, Heason Technologies Group.
"I believe that a product range that encompasses the Thomson Micron gearheads helps Heason to achieve that objective".
