SFP-974

Flotron’s Small Foot Print (SFP) 900 series Rotation Fixtures are a higher capacity, more compact version of the 900 series where floor space is a premium. The SFP-900 series includes additional features and options; lift points above the CG capable of lifting the Flotron (with the payload integrated), one inch of axial float on the non-gearbox side trunnion to ease payload integration, flat leg design to lower the rotation centerline height without sacrificing available payload swing radius, lighter weight to ease maneuverability, elimination of single failure points for launch site compatibility, a needle roller bearing bushings on the non-gearbox-side trunnion, as well as an option for a cordless hand drill to rotate the gearbox. They are supplied with a heavy-duty, hollow shaft, stairstep resistant gearboxes to handle large, off-center loads that may occur during assembly of the mounted payload.
