Innovative two-axis positioning device with iglidur® PRT slewing bearings for a robust design for environmental monitoring, disaster management and telecommunications
The Czech company Hikade has developed a new solution for precise positioning and stabilisation with its Odysseus gimbal. The gimbal is supported by the lubrication-free, maintenance-free, lightweight, robust and quiet iglidur® PRT slewing ring bearings. These bearings ensure long service life and withstand extreme conditions including corrosion and various weather conditions. The Odysseus gimbal is highly adaptable and sets new standards for precision and stability in various applications. The gimbal is therefore suitable for helicopters, fixed-wing aircraft or even maritime and ground-based applications.
Further application examples include aerial photography or thermal imaging, as a light source or as target detection.
The Odysseus gimbal was exhibited at EUROSATORY 2022 in Paris. There it was equipped with a beam light / searchlight (CRYTUR).
