Type 2 Side-Drive Solar Array Drive MechanismÌý
Overview:
The slip ring assembly is of the proven metal-on-metal construction, with a multi-ringÌýrotor and multi-wire brush-type contactors. The slip ring assembly is located on theÌýrear face of the output gearbox, and the rotating cable bundle exits on the centerlineÌýof the slip ring assembly.
Solar array drives are a long-established product at Moog. Áõ«hÊ״δóÕ½ºÚÈËhas experience with solar array drives, for both Earth orbitÌýand planetary missions, stretching back to 1980. The solar power application is one of the most mature for Áõ«hÊ״δóÕ½ºÚÈËactuatorsÌýand biaxial gimbals. Solar array drives have traditionally been very mission-specific in their configuration. As with all MoogÌýmechanisms, a variety of design options are available. Custom power transfer requirements are easily accommodated upon request.ÌýThe design represented on this data sheet is qualified and provides an option that has cost and schedule benefits. The Type 2 Side-ÌýDrive SADM easily interfaces with the Áõ«hÊ״δóÕ½ºÚÈË2 or 4 channel Electronic Control Unit for a complete system solution.
