The SPS-8000 Multi-axis Gimbal System weighs 1000 pounds and supports sensor payloads up to 2000 pounds. The use of direct drive brushless motors and resolvers eliminates backlash, reduces jitter, achieves high reliability and meets MIL-STD-810 environments. The direct drive system also allows the multi-axis gimbal system to achieve high rates of acceleration for near zenith targets for tracking applications.

Standard operating power options include: 115/240 VAC, 50/60 Hz; 208 VAC, 50/60 Hz; 24/28 VDC.

Optional features include inductosyns, coude-path mirrors, MIL grade fiber optic gyros (FOG), multi-conductor sliprings, fiber optic rotary joints (FORJ), risers, tripods, and automatic video trackers (AVT).
