RW100 Reaction Wheel

EXA (Astro-und Feinwerktechnik)
RW100 Reaction Wheel

Constellation-optimized reaction wheel derived from the RW90 with automotive manufacturing approach.

About

The ASTROFEIN RW100 is one of the latest reaction wheel developments, based on the RW90 platform but optimized for constellation-scale production using an automotive-inspired manufacturing approach. It delivers 0.4 Nms of angular momentum at nominal speed with a maximum commandable reaction torque of 0.02 Nm, in a package under 0.8 kg. The wheel offers a design lifetime exceeding 7 years in LEO with RS485/RS422 data interfaces, targeting cost-effective attitude control for large satellite constellations.
