General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems’ precision pan and tilt systems combine our high power DC brushless motors and high accuracy resolvers directly coupled to the payload for maintenance-free operation with zero backlash. With a payload capacity of up to 65 pounds, the Rugged Vector-65 is ideally suited for multi-sensor platforms in shock and vibration applications. The integrated 16 bit resolver is directly coupled to each axis for superior control and accuracy, making it ideal for long-range electro-optical and infrared camera systems.

Built-in control electronics and software provide precise, smooth motion at all speeds. An integrated Gigabit Ethernet slip ring provides continuous rotation in the pan axis. The Rugged Vector-65 is also available with optional inertialgyro-stabilization, making it ideal for applications requiring dynamic position control.
