Single axis underwater rotator to remotely position camera
systems, acoustic equipment, and other instrumentation.
The unparalleled reliability of the R-10 underwater rotator 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 R-10 provides 13.56 N-m (10 lb-ft) of output torque and accommodates
payloads up to 15 pounds. The drive train for the rotator 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 the output shaft without damage
to the gear or the motor.
With the choice of different AC or DC power
configurations the R-10 can be used in a wide array of varying environments and applications.
All ROS positioning units are available in either
dual or single axis configurations.
