Sub-systems

ADR has developed equipment and sub-systems such as servomotors, motorised bearings and positioners to meet new technological requirements. ADR provides a complete electromechanical function based on expertise and experience going back more than 25 years in the high precision fields.

3-Axis Positioners in Carbon Composite (G3AC)

The carbon composite positioner has been developed for the new defence and aeronautics telecommunications markets that demand high positioning accuracy and stable mechanical behaviour in time. This positioner brings the following benefits: 

  • –  A significant reduction of mass by the use of carbon composite parts certified for aeronautical use; 
  • –  A positioning on 3 axes which allows high mobility of the antenna and continuous scanning of the pointing zone;
  • –  A reduced and compact overall dimensions by the integration of small section ball bearings close to the axis;
  • –  A reduction of pointing defects through precise axis production;
  • –  Maintenance and precise positioning of a 5 kg payload. On request, ADR may adapt the architecture according to the mass.
