RWT150 Reaction Wheel

EXA (Astro-und Feinwerktechnik)
RWT150 Reaction Wheel

Upscaled RW150 variant under development with higher torque capability.

About

The ASTROFEIN RWT150 is an upscaled version of the RW150 reaction wheel, currently under development, offering the same 1.0 Nms angular momentum but with a significantly higher maximum commandable reaction torque of 0.1 Nm. It maintains the compact 150 x 150 x 60 mm form factor and up to 1.3 kg mass, targeting small satellite missions that require faster slew rates than the standard RW150 while retaining the same footprint. The wheel uses RS485/RS422 data interfaces and is designed for a service life exceeding 7 years in LEO.
