Military Thermal Imaging Actuator
Best Solution designed a high performance scanning actuator for a military thermal imaging application. The actuator was capable of very rapid reciprocating motion, while requiring much lower power input than conventional motor technology.
The internal geometry of the actuator was optimised using parametric finite element models, and the hardware performance of prototypes closely matched the modelling predictions.
