Product overview
Frontgrade SADA-10 is a solar-array drive assembly combining an in-line motor and harmonic drive with a modular slip-ring design. Dual potentiometers provide position sensing, while the mechanism is designed for zero backlash and high output-flange stiffness. The slip-ring arrangement can accommodate different power levels, with twist-capsule and limited-output-shaft-rotation options available. The design emphasizes low power consumption and controlled solar-array positioning. The product brief defines the step angle, drive ratio, torque conditions and mechanical interface for the assembly.
