Space-certified Motor Drives, Electric Linear and Rotary Actuators, Capacitive Encoders & Frameless Motors. Space-specific solutions & products for LEO & GEO motion control applications.
Olsen Actuators has the world's leading range of space-rated motor drives/power electronics ready to suit your specific project. Whether COTS, customised or fully bespoke, motion control solutions are available with radiation-hardened components and space-specific specifications to speed up design, testing and integration.
- Fast Delivery
- Quicker to Market
- Minimum Development Costs
Our experience and range of products are perfectly geared to the wide range of space applications. You can harness this at any stage of your development process, whether just at the concept stage or right up to crewed flight.
The Space community trusts our tried and tested products and our customers can take advantage of specifications which enable immediate integration and scaling right up to production.
Just like with our expertise in Aerospace & Defence, the Space sector is a challenging one for us to demonstrate our work, as so much remains under NDAs. What we are very happy to say is that our products have been on multiple successful space missions and we continue to supply some of the biggest names in the sector, while also working with smaller innovators, research facilities and universities.
Our product range has been carefully tailored to provide ultra-compact, lightweight solutions with proven reliability records so your confidence can be truly well placed.
Our range of power electronics & drives are specifically designed with Space applications in mind. Options like the SuperNova from ESI Motion are specifically designed with radiation-hardened components, LEO & GEO readiness.
