Reaction Wheel RW35 for Small Satellites
RW35 Features:
- Integrated wheel drive electronics with latch-up protection
- Different operation modes for speed and acceleration using model based controllers
- High torque and speed stability (low noise)
- Provides extensive housekeepings
- Internal compensation of friction and time delays
- Low level emitted vibrations, due to the mechanical design
and the high level of alignments and balancing
