HEXAPOD TURRET INCLUDING HYDRAULIC ACTUATORS

摘要

The turret has six linear actuators (10), where each actuator comprises a piston (12) movable in translation with respect to a body (11) and a rod (18) connected to the piston to follow the translational movement. The rod is connected to the piston through a ball joint (21) to an end (19) of the rod for each actuator, where each actuator includes a ball joint (24) located at another end (20) of the rod. The actuators are fixed to a base by the body and connected to a movable plate through the latter ball joint.
