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, reducing weight, volume, and power consumption (SWaP), with an autonomous torque calculation algorithm on the control board for multi-axis torque output through simple commands. TensorCMG-10 is the highest-momentum member of the SmallSat CMG family, deployable as a single unit or in adjacent-pair (x2) or pyramid-cluster (x4) arrangements.
