Three-axis gimbal mount features high resolution

The Azimuth stage rotary table is mounted on a large 360x360x13mm plate with handles and has predrilled accessible mounting holes for easy integration into new or existing applications, and for increased stability. The AU300-AER three-axis Gimbal Mount is suited for mounting cameras, optics, lasers and instrumentation for scanning, tracking, positioning, pointing, and other applications.

The three axes, azimuth, elevation, and roll axes are driven by bi-directional stepper motors capable of microstepping and has knobs for manual adjustments. The roll axis table measures 100mm in diameter. The knobs may be replaced with optical encoders for position verification and closed loop positioning. 

Each axis features low backlash worm gear drives and precision ‘V’ groove and cross roller bearings for very high resolution of 3.6 arc seconds, and repeatability and positional accuracy to 36 arc seconds. Travel speed of each axis is 8° per second. Electrical connections are made using three 9 pin DB-9 connectors.

The AU300-AER Motorised Three-axis Gimbal Mount can be ordered as a complete plug-and-play system with a multi-axis controller, joy stick, track ball, or keypad, and with a 30mm thru hole in the roll stage.
