Quickset : Taurus
Description
The Moog Taurus Pan and Tilt was specifically designed to meet the most rugged ground vehicle mobile environments. The Taurus design uses the same design techniques of the QPT-90 drive train, electronics and protocol interfaces, allowing simple system integration. An internal tilt shaft eliminates the need for a tabletop. Balancing the load in tilt minimizes the torque required to move the payload in tilt resulting in greater payload capacity.
Features
- RF pass-through turret
- Balanced payloads up to 300 lbs for static installations, 150 lbs for mobile installations
- Unbalanced payloads up to 90 lb ft (122 Nm)
- Fixed or Mobile Installations
- Mil-Spec Connectors
- Tough metal housing and gearing for durability in harsh environments
- Marine configuration that meets IP-67 standards
- Universal wiring for sensor integration
- Thermostatically controlled heaters standard
