Antenna Tracker | Yaw Axis | @Arjun Mandair |
Task Description
Use calculations and intuition to determine what servo and gearbox we can use. This servo and gearbox should be able to withstand the load of the antenna tracker.
Constraints
To be written by the Project Manager. All constraints should be their own row of the table, if a constraint is removed it should be crossed out but left in the table. The append date is when the constraint was last updated (update this when constraints are removed!) DELETE THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PUBLISHING
Constraints | Written By | Append Date |

Relevant Contacts
To be written by the component owner and should be used if collaborating with another subteam. This should be the “component owner” of the other subteam and/or the person on those subteams. Delete if not used. DELETE THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PUBLISHING

Task Progression/Updates
Author: @Arjun Mandair Date: Oct 11, 2023
First Revision
Gearbox is no longer being sold
Dimensioning was manually done using calipers
CAD (including gearbox) was Manually Done
Able to rotate and withstand antenna tracker weight as per @Conall Kingshott's confirmation
May need to reconsider depending on if we need to create two antenna trackers
This ensures consistency
Potentially easier for EFS and EE to integrate if both servos are consistent
