(ESI Motion: Simi Valley, CA) -- ESI Motion, a leader in advanced space and defense controller subsystems, has released its latest off-the-shelf SADA actuator, Solaris.

This space-rated product is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of space, delivering unmatched performance and dependability. Solaris, available in both single and dual-axis, has an industry-leading lead time, with engineering development units available within four to six weeks, and flight units available within 16 to 20 weeks.

Solaris stands out with its superior precision and reliability, making it ideal for space-grade applications.

Key features include:

High precision and accuracy: Zero backlash, 0.1 degree pointing accuracy, 0.015 degree step size and microstepping to less than 0.0001 degree.

Lightweight and compact design: Optimized for spacecraft where weight and space are crucial factors.

High torque and load capacity: Continuous torque of 20 NM. Capable of handling demanding operations such as satellite deployment and robotic arms.

Shock and vibration resistance: Engineered to survive launch stresses and space operations.

Long operational life: Built for extended missions with minimal maintenance requirements.

Redundant system integration: Incorporates fail-safe mechanisms to enhance mission reliability.

Versatile application: Used in satellite positioning, solar array deployment, robotic arms, and scientific instruments.

“The SADA actuators represent a significant advancement for the industry, providing a much-needed option for a high-performance, space-rated actuator with a short lead time,” says Earnie Beem, president and CTO of ESI Motion. “Our actuators can be in an engineer’s hands in a matter of weeks with space-ready units in 16 to 20 weeks or less.”

Both single and dual-axis Solaris actuators can be customized to meet specific project requirements. ESI Motion’s Solar Array Drive Assembly and Electronics run seamlessly together to provide a robust solution for space missions.

They are available for order now.
