AGC Series goniometric cradles provide stacked pitch, yaw and roll

05 Jan 2009

Innovative direct position feedback option places encoder on bearing line for improved stability and removes the need for worm/wheel adjustment

Aerotech’s AGC Series Goniometric Cradles are an essential element for single or multi-axis rotary micro-positioning where the payload or measurement area needs to be at the centre of rotation and an unobstructed line of sight is required. Three goniometers are available, each with a travel range of ± 45° and radii of curvature set at 85 mm, 160 mm and 245 mm - allowing the units to be stacked together to provide compact pitch, yaw and roll axes with a common and intersecting centre of rotation. Providing a cost competitive solution for high precision goniometric positioning, the range features precision worm gear mechanics for arc second level accuracy and repeatability.
