Kratos Model 2200 Rotator - Antenna Pedestal

Kratos Model 2200 Rotator

The Model 2200 Rotator is a wind exposed system that is ideal for constant rotation applications, such as fixed ground terminal range surveillance. The rotator features two (2) fully redundant drivetrain assemblies. To provide a range of precise rotation rates the gearboxes are available in a variety of different ratios. The Model 2200 Rotator is a typed tested, environmentally certified, redundant outdoor system. There are currently 25 proven Model 2200 Rotators fielded around the world. The Model 2200 Rotator is manufactured from ASTM Grade 65-45-12 ductile iron castings for exceptional strength and durability.

A notable feature of the system is that the main sluing bearing can be removed without disturbing the alignment of the antenna. In the remote chance of a drivetrain failure, the gearboxes, motors, and pinion support assemblies can be removed one at a time without stoppage of rotation. Other drivetrain features include over torque slip clutch protection and custom dual Viton lip seals, which seal the high speed shafts of the gearboxes. A holding break is included, as well as an interlocked stow pin, to protect personnel during maintenance activities. The Model 2200 Rotator’s main bearing is oil lubricated which allows the pedestal to be easily maintained. The pedestal contains oil level sensors which monitor oil levels in both gearboxes and the main sump.

The Model 2200 Rotator also features a cursor ring which provides azimuth position as well as lightning protection brush blocks. Precision and reliability in a direct coupled rotator
