PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Precision single-axis motion.Built for inertial test workflows.

ACCUDYNA describes the FDA-115 / MFH-1DD-M1 as a single-axis rate table intended for development, production, in-process testing, calibration, and final inspection of inertial components and instruments, including MEMS sensors.

The system emphasizes user friendliness and economic pricing. T-nut levelers allow the rate table to be aligned in two directions relative to the horizon.

The motion system combines a direct-drive brushless torque motor, optical encoder, precision-machined tabletop, slip-ring assembly, servo controller, and power amplifier.

Precision pre-loaded angular-contact ball bearings permit load capacities up to 50 kg. ACCUDYNA also states that required interconnecting cables and mating connectors for the customer interface are supplied with the system.
