Gen2: CubeWheel CW0057

Vendor profile

Overview

CubeSpace (CS) offers a wide range of robust reaction wheels perfect for CubeSats and SmallSats. Our CubeWheel range is designed for precision performance, reliability, ease of use, and manufacturability. Featuring a modular, space-proven design with in-house designed motors, high-load space-rated bearings, and advanced lubrication, our wheels can be easily optimized to meet mission-specific requirements. This is achieved by adjusting the motor or using alternative bearings or lubrication and does not impact manufacturability due to this design’s built-in modularity.

Additionally, our wheels are meticulously balanced using our state-of-the-art automated laser balancing machine, ensuring outstanding vibration tolerance through stringent micro-vibration testing. This high tolerance, with the option for additional damping, makes our CubeWheels an ideal choice for missions requiring high precision and stability. With a distributed supply chain and automated production processes, the CS CubeWheel range offers robust, customizable, high-precision wheels that can be rapidly manufactured at high volumes and competitive pricing.

Features:
Robust mechanics & mounting options
Integrated drive electronics
Magnetically shielded with internal mu-metal shielding
Pyramid mounting configuration available with option of dampers - Enables increased momentum storage and 3-axis redundancy with reduction in micro-vibrations
In-house motor design from CW0500 - Offers enhanced stability and precision at lower speed tracking (RPM)
Shared electronic design and heritage across Gen2 product range
Random Vibration: 14.16 g RMS
Radiation: 24 kRad
