Allient explores the considerations involved in selecting motors for Satellite Communication (SATCOM) applications in its new whitepaper, ‘A Technical Guide to Motors for SATCOM Systems.’
The whitepaper examines where motors are used across SATCOM systems, the motor technologies available, and the engineering challenges involved. It also outlines key factors for engineers to consider when selecting an appropriate motor.
SATCOM systems are placing increasing demands on motion technology, driven by the growth of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) constellations and rising demand for connectivity across land, sea, air, and space. As these systems become more dynamic, motor selection requires careful consideration of the application, operating environment, and long-term reliability.
The whitepaper highlights pointing accuracy, performance, reliability, and integration among the considerations involved in motor selection. It also addresses the space environment and operating environment, as well as the growing importance of Size, Weight and Power (SWaP).
Allient draws on decades of expertise in motor and motion technologies to help engineers navigate motor selection for demanding commercial and military SATCOM applications. The company’s offering to the military sector is provided through its Allient Defense team.
Robert Mastromattei, Chief Commercial Officer & Group President at Allient, said, “SATCOM applications require careful consideration of performance, operating environment and system integration. This whitepaper highlights the key factors engineers need to consider when selecting a motor, helping them evaluate the trade-offs and identify the right solution for their application.”
