Curtiss-Wright's linear gear drives are purpose-built for operation in the harshest locations and the most severe conditions. Responsible for linear motion, our linear gear drives are designed to provide the highest degree of precision in complex aiming and stabilization systems.
Taking the guesswork out of motion control system design, our pre-engineered Electrical Rotary Gear (ERG) Drives are designed for operation in the most demanding applications and under the harshest conditions.
Curtiss-Wright fiber optic gyroscopes are designed for high performance and demanding environmental requirements.
Curtiss-Wright ruggedized, field-proven hand controllers offer high reliability and optimal user comfort and are designed for a wide variety of applications.
Curtiss-Wright aiming and stabilization software enables commissioning, error handling, parameter handling, analysis, and maintenance operation.
Motor Controllers
Curtiss-Wright's range of motor controllers has been developed for use on weapons stations or main battle tanks. The system power, I/O, performance and assembly have been designed for the most demanding dynamics and precision requirements and can be easily modified to your specification. The entire range of motor controllers include EMI filtering, power electronics, embedded system software, control algorithm, a common service tool, and the electrical interfaces required.
