Innovative power transmission technology for actuation and precision positioning of heavy payloads. Robust, compact and reduced-weight drives are efficient and cost effective yet feature 500% shock load capability with graceful failure mode. Phase I tasks include preliminary design of actuation and precision positioning front end and option integration to transporter system for precise positioning of hazardous payloads. Preliminary design and analysis will demonstrate functionality and robustness of proposed innovative rotary and linear actuators as part of system. Cost-effective commercial applications potentially derived from this program feature robust actuator capable of precision positioning for heavy power transmission applications and enables safe and precise handling of ordnance and hazardous materials, as well as precision control of heavy workpieces generally, includes use in power hoists for industry, robotics in manufacturing, multi-axis units with both linear and rotary actuation, and more generic power transmission applications. Robust actuator capable of precision positioning for heavy power transmission applications, enables safe and precise handling of ordnance and hazardous materials as well as precision control of workpieces generally.
