PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Ultra-accurate motion.Built for large inertial systems.

The FDD-331-ULA is a multi-class, three-axis rate table intended for development, large-scale production, in-process testing, calibration, and final inspection of inertial components and instruments.

The catalog specifically lists large IMUs, IRUs, AHRSs, and INSs belonging to FOG, RLG, and mechanical classes. The product emphasizes user-friendliness and ultra-accurate applications.

The platform provides three degrees of freedom — inner roll, middle pitch, and outer yaw. The middle axis is equipped with a stow lock to facilitate safe loading and unloading of the UUT.

Precision pre-loaded angular-contact ball bearings support loads up to 50 kg. The system includes the necessary interconnecting cables and mating connectors, while wedge levelers allow alignment in two directions.

Catalog basis: FDD-331-ULA Version F · August 2024. Technical values below follow the official parameter sheet.
