Application example Antenna bearing with direct drive

Specification
Application example Antenna bearing with direct drive
The antenna is mounted on a telescopic boom that can be moved upwards to improve reception in rough terrain. An autonomously driven bearing simplifies the design of the drive and significantly reduces the number of components required. Only power and data cables need to be routed upwards, which can be done easily and in a space-saving manner thanks to the large centre clearance of the bearing.

Advantages
Bearings with direct drive are suitable for applications where high performance and low space requirements are important criteria. The integration of the drive into the bearing housing means that wear-prone assemblies for the transmission of drive power such as toothed belts, pinions or gears can be omitted. This reduces maintenance costs, increases efficiency and improves both the speed range and positioning accuracy.
