About
Tensor Tech provides magnetorquers in two forms: integrated boards and standalone rods. The MTQ Board integrates two magnetorquers and one air coil onto a control board with embedded ADCS algorithms, providing detumbling functionality for CubeSat missions. When combined with fine sun sensors, the system enables basic pointing capabilities such as sun-spin and detumbling. Product features: optional driving circuitries and digital interfaces enabled by the control board; manufactured in ISO 7 cleanroom (scalable from small-quantity to mass production); magnetic distortion/leakage analyzed via COMSOL Multiphysics; custom designs available upon request.
