The TASE 3AX Camera Gimbal Deployment Mechanism

 provides a solution for the TASE gimbal to retract into the aircraft during launch, belly-landing and normal operations. It is a compact, robust, light-weight, and low-cost deployment system. When retracted, roll and nod operations prevent gimbal lock while looking directly below the aircraft. The 3AX also provides emergency retract logic if loss of main power occurs.

Key Features:

• Overall package size is 135mm (5.3”) wide, 210mm (8.3”) long, 170mm (6.7”) height, with actuator arm swinging 20mm (0.8”) higher in actuation
• Weight 280g (without TASE gimbal)
• Power Consumption is less than 3W during actuation, 1W max when deployed or retracted
• 8-20 volts DC
• Retraction control through the TASE gimbal
• Emergency retract logic on loss of main power
• Conveniently located hard points for mounting low in a fuselage
