Modernization of the azimuth drive design for the antenna system

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents the results of modernization an improved design of the azimuth drive, in which reliable and inexpensive asynchronous electric motors with frequency control of rotation speed and planetary gearboxes, which are serially manufactured by domestic enterprises, are used as engines. The use of the developed azimuth drive allows to quickly and relatively inexpensively restore the performance of the antenna system, as well as increase the speed of pointing along the azimuth axis from 4 degrees/s to 15 degrees/s, significantly simplify the design and reduce the weight of the drive.
