Pan and Tilts - PT-10-FB Pan and Tilts

Pan and Tilts

Pan and tilts with position feedback and optional RS-485 / RS-232 control to remotely orient camera systems, acoustic equipment, and other instrumentation.

The unparalleled reliability of the PT-10-FB pan and tilts is due in part to its rugged construction. Housings and machined components are made of corrosion resistant, hard-anodized aluminum. All external hardware is made of stainless steel for deep water or hazardous environment applications.

The PT-10-FB pan and tilts provide 10 lb-ft (13.56 N-m) of output torque on each axis. Heavy-duty ball bearings supporting the output shaft allow it to accommodate heavier payloads up to 25 pounds. The drive train for each axis of the pan and tilts uses either a reversible synchronous motor or a brushless stepper motor coupled to low backlash harmonic gearing. The rugged design of the gear train allows stalling of either output shaft without damage to the gears or the motors.

The PT-10-FB pan and tilts are equipped with internal limit switches and position feedback potentiometers on both axes. The potentiometers sense pan and tilt orientation angles for display at the remote control station.

With the choice of different power configurations, AC or DC, the PT-10-FB pan and tilts can be used in a wide array of varying environments and applications. Additionally, the 24 VDC model with optional RS-485 / RS-232 communication protocol is highly configurable and precision controllable - PT-10-FB RS-485 computer controlled pan and tilts.

The PT-10-FB pan and tilts are available in two versions: air-filled or oil-filled. Air-filled pan and tilts are used for shallow water applications up to 30 meters depth. Also, air-filled pan and tilts are suitable for above water applications where rain, humidity, and dust are issues. Oil-filled pan and tilts are used for subsea applications up to 3,000 and 6,000 meters depth.

The PT-10-FB pan and tilts complement all ROS underwater lights and underwater video cameras and was designed to be an integral part of turnkey, remotely operated, video inspection systems.
