Rugged electric pan and tilts to remotely position camera
systems, acoustic equipment, RF and microwave antennas, and other
instrumentation.
The unparalleled reliability of the PT-10 electric 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, with oceanographic
and nuclear applications in mind.
The PT-10 electric pan and tilts provide 10 lb-ft (13.56 N-m)
of output torque on each axis and accommodates payloads up to
15 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 motor.
With the choice of different AC or DC power configurations the
PT-10 electric pan and tilts can be used in a wide array of varying
environments and applications.
The PT-10 electric 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 deep water applications up to 3,000 and 6,000 meters
depth.
The PT-10 electric 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.
