About
NanoAvionics offers reaction/momentum wheels (RW) designed to enable precision pointing of satellite buses. These are available either as a separate component, designated RW0, or as an integrated four-reaction-wheel redundant 3-axis control system, known as 4RW0. The reaction wheels incorporate DC brushless motors housed in sealed enclosures. This design ensures no particle emissions, thereby preventing contamination of peripheral devices within the satellite. The minimum order quantity for the RW0 subsystem is 4 pieces. The system is specifically developed for CubeSats and small satellites, providing essential attitude control capabilities.
