Motion Control
Actuators & Dampers
Blue Origin offers a complete line of high-performing Honeybee Robotics actuators and dampers for space applications. Our qualified motor and gearing configurations easily integrate with standard interfaces to provide a turnkey solution that minimizes cost and lead times. By leveraging our in-house capabilities, strategic supplier base, and a deep understanding of our customer's requirements, standard designs can be tailored to meet virtually any motion control requirement.
Our best-in-class actuators have demonstrated operation at temperatures ranging from -200 °C to +180 °C and in vibration environments in excess of 130 grms.
Brushless DC Motors
Brushless DC motors are much more efficient and capable of driving high load inertias, compared to stepper motor actuators.
Stepper Motors
Stepper motors are a popular choice for applications that require high torque density, simple control, and unpowered holding torque.
Eddy Current Dampers
Eddy Current Dampers are passive electromagnetic devices that provide controlled damping for systems such as deployable structures and payloads.
Linear Actuators
Whether it's a small positioning device or a high-power thrust vector control system, our stepper or brushless DC actuators can be augmented with a lead or ball screw for precision linear motion.
Cogless Direct Drive Motors
Cogless brushless DC motors are ideal for applications requiring low torque disturbance or extremely precise rate control.
P-35 Actuators
We offer the versatile P35 actuator for applications requiring higher output torque and stiffness than our smaller geared motors.
