The unparalleled reliability of the PT-10 is due in part to its rugged construction. Housings and machined components are made of corrosion resistant, hard-anodized aluminum. All external hardware is made of stainless steel, with oceanographic and nuclear applications in mind.
The PT-10 & PT-10-FB provides 13.56 N-m (10 lb-ft) of output torque on each axis and accommodates payloads up to 15 pounds. The drive train for each axis of the pan & tilt uses either a reversible synchronous motor or a brushless stepper motor coupled to low backlash harmonic gearing. The rugged design of the gear train allows stalling of either output shaft without damage to the gears or the motor. With the choice of different AC or DC power configurations the PT-10 can be used in a wide array of varying environments and applications.
Both pan & tilt positioners complement all ROS underwater lights and camera systems and was designed to be an integral part of turnkey, remotely operated, video inspection systems.
The PT-10-FB positioner is equipped with internal limit switches and position feedback potentiometers on both axes. The potentiometers sense pan and tilt orientation angles for display at the remote control station.
