NewportTM motorized gimbals provide unparalleled precision and stability for targeting, calibration, alignment, and testing in defense, aerospace, and research applications globally.
Newport Motion possesses significant expertise in the design and construction of motorized gimbal mounts. With a worldwide network of over one thousand gimbals currently operational, Newport recognizes the critical need for developing and motorizing mounts that ensure high-performance deployment across a variety of applications.
Newport gimbals are used for target simulation, target tracking, camera calibration, sensor calibration, telescope alignment, weapons testing, and general optical alignment and adjustment.
They are employed to test and characterize gyroscopic sensors for inertial navigation systems. The Azimuth, Elevation, and Roll assemblies are available with the Newport RV and URS family stages.
Newport gimbals are available in both half-yoke and full-yoke configurations in various sizes to meet diverse load and positioning requirements. Heidenhain encoders can be integrated to achieve sub-arcsecond-level accuracy and sensitivity, and metrology services are offered for orthogonality and axis alignment.
The motorized mirror-mounted gimbals are also available in multiple configurations.
