PRODUCT OVERVIEW

High dynamics.Precise slow motion.

The FDA-222-HD is described by ACCUDYNA as a multi-class, two-axis rate table intended for development, in-process testing, calibration, and final inspection of inertial components and instruments.

The catalog specifically identifies high-precision MEMS sensors at FOG performance level, medium and large IMUs in the MEMS class, stabilized optical sights, and star trackers among the intended test articles.

The product is designed to simulate both vibration and precise slow motion while maintaining high pointing accuracy, with emphasis on user-friendliness and high-dynamic customer needs.

The catalog bullet list states “Direct drive brushless torque motors,” while the descriptive body text refers to “direct-drive brushed torque motors.” This page therefore uses the neutral source-faithful term “direct-drive torque motor architecture” without choosing between the conflicting descriptions.
