About

The Single-Actuation Drive Type 6 is an electromechanical rotary drive specifically engineered for the deployment of critical spacecraft structure elements. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the controlled deployment of components such as solar array panels, booms, and antennas. This drive, released in 2010, is equipped with an angular position sensor for precise control. It offers a nominal slew rate of 0.25 or 1 degrees per second and has a torque rating ranging from 0 to 110 N·m. A safety clutch actuates between 130-150 N·m, and the antitorque moment of the output shaft in a de-energized state does not exceed 0.8 N·m. The drive is designed to operate within a wide temperature range of -60 to +60 °С and has an operational life of at least 100 cycles or 53 hours. Its compact dimensions are 90 x 90 x 160 mm, and it weighs 1.29 kg. The product has no brief history of flight qualification stated on the page.
