About
The TensorCMG Series features variable-speed, single-gimbal CMGs driven by spherical motor technology, available in single and clustered configurations for satellites from 30 kg to 1000 kg. This spherical motor design reduces weight, volume, and power consumption (SWaP). An autonomous torque calculation algorithm is integrated on the control board, enabling multi-axis torque output through simple commands. TensorCMG-1 can be deployed as a single unit or in adjacent-pair (x2) or pyramid-cluster (x4) arrangements.
