Geared Single Axis Actuator

M-TEK positioners are mainly used for accurate positioning of optronic observation equipment and/or radar antennas for applications on land, sea and air platforms. The actuators may be direct-drive or geared (using anti-backlash gearboxes), and usually make use of permanent magnet, brushless DC torque motors. Resolvers are normally used as feedback sensors. The addition of slip rings will provide unlimited rotation. Power supplies, servo drives and controllers are enclosed in sealed enclosures located either externally, or on the positioners.

Hand controllers & joysticks are utilised as man-machine-interfaces mainly on tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery turrets. It is also used with optical and radar tracking systems.

M-TEK was founded in 1980 and specialises in the design, development and manufacture of precision electro mechanical components and subsystems including slip rings.

The main function of slip ring assemblies are to transfer electrical power and electrical signals from stationary to rotating platforms.
