(UAV) Control Actuation System
Click Here:
A custom designed Control Actuation System (CAS) was developed for Boeing’s Phantom works.
The system incorporates a Electronics Control Unit (ECU) that controls 3 fin actuators.
The controller can be commanded to perform Built-In-Test (BIT) for control system readiness.
Each rotary actuator has a failsafe brake, brushless DC motor, geartrain including a worm gearset and a potentiometer for feedback.
This system passed all qualification Environmental and EMI requirements per MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461.
This is integral to the MK-57 Vertical Launch System (VLS).

AQS-20 Control Actuation System
Click Here:
A custom designed Control Actuation System (CAS) was developed for Raytheon in support of the AQS-20 Mine Sweeping Vehicle.
Superior Motion Control’s design replaced the incumbent resulting in cost savings and increased reliability. The Control Actuation System consists of 3 independent actuators and controllers.
The custom designed controller has a frequency response of greater than 10 Hz utilizing analog communication.
The custom designed actuator has a brushless DC motor with a brake is driving a 3 stage spur gear train connected to a ball screw generating linear motion.
A Bell crank is used to convert linear motion to rotary motion. A Potentiometer is directly coupled to ball screw for position feedback.

MK-30 Fin Actuator
Click Here:
Superior Motion Control designed, manufactured and tested this rotary actuator to meet the stringent program requirements including low structure borne noise for Raytheon.
This Control Actuation System (CAS) controls 4 fins on the MK-30 target torpedo.
The actuator consists of a brushless DC motor, integral servo drive amplifier and communication electronics.
This unique design had to be minimized so that four (4) actuators could be fitted into a condensed area with its own built-in servo amplifier.
