Design Features
Economical, high-accuracy, two-axis gimbal design
Travels from 90 degrees to continuous rotation available
Circular (100 to 300 mm) and custom cells available
Front surface reflecting and centered cell options
Direct encoder option for increased accuracy/repeatabili
ty
Servo and stepper motors available
The AMG-GR series of gear-driven motorized gimbals provide economical, high-accuracy elevation-over-azimu
th positioning. These gimbals are built using the primary positioning elements of the robust and economical AGR-series rotary stage. The AMG-GR is available in a variety of standard travel ranges. Due to the flexibility of the design, customized travels are easily accommodated. A variety of accuracy grades, motor types, and cell designs make this the ideal stage series for applications ranging from sensor calibration to laser beam steering.
Cell Design Versatility
The AMG-GR comes standard with circular cells ranging from 100 mm to 300 mm diameter. Cell mounting options include a centered (balanced) cell or a front-surface reflection option where the front of the optic is located on the axes of rotation. Special configurations are available to accommodate non-circular optics, cameras, sensors, and round optics larger than 300 mm in diameter. Due to a modular-design approach, each gimbal mirror cell can be easily modified or replaced with different shaped cells to accommodate sensors or other asymmetrically-shape
d payloads.
Flexible Options
The AMG-GR can be outfitted with brushless servo or stepper motors. A full range of matching drives and controls are available for a complete single-source solution.
For applications that require high-accuracy and repeatability, a direct-encoder mounted to the cell and yoke is available. Vacuum-compatible versions are also available.
