Motion Control

Specialized Components

Blue Origin is a leader in core technologies, including power transfer technology and a high-resolution optical encoder. These devices can be supplied as standalone components, or integrated with other components to minimize mass or volume, and have been specifically designed to be better than competing products on the market.

  • Optical Encoder

    The Honeybee Robotics hollow shaft rotary encoder offers differential A, B, and index tracks in a small, modular package. The unit is radiation hardened up to 100 krad and can operate from -40C to +60C. The diffractive encoder also offers clean analog signals that can be used for interpolation to offer up to 21 bits of resolution. 

  • Power & Signal Transfer

    When building a complex mechanism with relative moving parts, routing the electrical connections is often one of the toughest challenges. After years of experience, Honeybee Robotics is familiar with the nuances of design and assembly that enable low-drag torque, high reliability, long lifetime, and volume efficiency. Our systems are ready for integration, and can be customized for specific applications.
