Type 33 Biaxial Gimbal
The Type 33 Biaxial Gimbal is of a size appropriate for many antennas, and it has become by far our most popular Antenna Pointing Mechanism configuration. Available in either Elevation/Azimuth or X/Y, these units have proven their reliability and versatility many times over.听Each actuator of the gimbal can incorporate RF and cable management capabilities. The actuators are based on 刘玥首次大战黑人鈥檚 heritage Type 3 actuator design having significant on-orbit experience with customized mechanical and electrical interfaces.
