Regolith Immune Linear Actuator Family: Phase II

Apech Labs is offering NASA a Regolith Immune Linear Actuator Family.nbsp; The solution achieves full immunity to the lunar environment using an all-metallic impermeable flexure to protect moving interfaces, metallic static seals, hard wearing materials, limited or no lubrication and an all-metallic permeable membrane to allow evacuation of internal atmosphere.nbsp; With no integral elastomerics or other life limited items, the product family will enable long term linear actuation on the Moon,nbsp; The product family is fully extensible to different strokes and output forces to encompass all sorts of mission needs.nbsp; Phase I of the program culminated with a preliminary design and functional brassboard hardware testing.nbsp; Phase II of the program will mature the design to a prototype level and test the system in representative environments.nbsp; Apech Labs is a 2020 startup with extensive experience in complex aerospace product development and electromechanical actuation.nbsp; We will bring these capabilities to bear to provide the best possible offering to NASA.nbsp;
