Information Request

Enter your requirements below.

Newmark’s high precision two axis 12″ motorized gimbal mount is designed for general purpose pointing, scanning, tracking, and motion simulation applications for large optics, antennae and other sensors.

Our large 2 axis gimbal mounts are equipped with high performance rotary stages and offer excellent stiffness and load capacity making them suitable for a wide variety of applications.

The GM-12 large gimbal mount uses high torque NEMA 23 stepper or servo motors coupled to precision preloaded worm gears providing high resolution positioning. Optical limit and home switches are standard items. The GM-12 is offered with a choice of a mirror cell for 12″ (300 mm) diameter optics or a flat payload mounting plate. The payload mounting plate is available with 1/4-20 or M6 threads. The rear of the GM-12 has connectors for a clean and reliable connection.

Special Environment Options

The GM-12 is available in vacuum compatible (10^-7 torr) and extended temperature (-40°C to 70°C) variations.
