OES’ AU400-AER series offers high resolution and four motor options.


OES released its AU400-AER series of three axis gimbal mounts designed for larger cameras, tracking devices, telescopes, optics, and other devices. Each model is 588mm wide by 463mm high, and can handle loads up to 10kg. The series features 180:1 worm gear driven “V” groove rotary stages. Each axis is capable of 360 degrees of continuous rotation in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions. Devices up to 395mm wide can be mounted on the rotary stage. Motor options include two phase-stepper motors (AU400-AER-01), three phase brushless servo motors with quadrature incremental optical encoders (AU400-AER-02), DC servo motors with quadrature incremental optical encoders (AU400-AER-03), or two-phase stepper motors with quadrature incremental optical encoders (AU400-AER-04). The resolution of each stage is 0.001 degree or 3.6 arcsec with 10 micro-steps per step motor driver in use.
