FloatMaster - AirBearing for ADCS testing of CubeSat
FloatMaster - AirBearing from TakeMe2Space are designed to deliver exceptional rotational accuracy and low friction for demanding applications. These high-precision bearings utilize a thin layer of air to levitate a rotating surface, virtually eliminating mechanical contact and minimizing friction.
Key Features:
- Wide Rotation Range: Achieve precise rotations in all three axes (θX, θY, and θZ) with a range of up to 360 degrees, enabling versatile applications.
- High Load Capacity: Support loads up to 300 N while maintaining a consistent air gap of 5 microns, ensuring reliable performance even under demanding conditions.
- Low Friction: Benefit from exceptionally low friction, resulting in smoother rotations and reduced energy consumption.
- Graphite Bearing Surface: The graphite bearing surface provides excellent wear resistance and low friction, ensuring long-term durability.
- Compact Design: Available in both small and large sizes to accommodate various applications and space constraints.
- Robust Construction: The aluminum 6061 housing with hard anodizing offers durability and corrosion resistance.
- Efficient Air Consumption: Operate with a maximum air flow rate of 30 L/min, optimizing efficiency and minimizing operating costs.
