Space Systems Rotary Joints-2

Rotary Joints for space systems Rotary joints for space applications produced by SPINNER make a decisive contribution to technological progress and precise communication. Satellites in outer space would be almost worthless if communication links with ground stations were not permanently maintained. Their antennas have to be continously targeted at their ground stations, a task for which rotary joints are indispensable. Likewise a moving satellite requires a rotary joint solution to continuously point the antenna beam. The rotary joints used for signal transmission need to be small and often designed...

Space Systems Rotary Joints-3

In space, which is one of the hardest conceivable environments, reliability, precision and quality of products are most critical. Extreme temperature fluctuations in orbit generate enormous stress on the material. Even under those extreme conditions in space, a rotary joint has to ensure absolutely reliable signal transmission over the whole service life of the satellite. In addition, low weight plays a key role. That is why Spinner uses special materials that have low weight and excellent durability. The wealth of experience that our engineers have with rotary joints in extraterrestrial use...
