Single axis heavy duty underwater rotator to remotely
position camera systems, acoustic equipment, and other instrumentation.
The unparalleled reliability of the R-25 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-25 provides 40 N-m (30 lb-ft) of output
torque. Heavy-duty ball bearings supporting
the output shaft allow it to accommodate heavier payloads up to
100 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-25 can be used in a wide
array of varying environments and applications.
All ROS positioning units are available in either
single or dual axis configurations.
