Details

A common base model for all CubeSpace reaction wheels.

CubeSpace offers a wide range of robust reaction wheels perfect for CubeSats and SmallSats. Our CubeWheel range is designed for precision performance, reliability, ease of use, and manufacturability. Featuring a modular, space-proven design with in-house designed motors, high-load space-rated bearings, and advanced lubrication, our wheels can be easily optimised to meet the requirements of all high-performance missions. Additionally, our wheels are meticulously balanced using our state-of-the-art automated laser balancing machines. After balancing, micro-vibration performance is measured and verified using precision micro-vibration testing. Our wheels’ ultra-low vibration, with the option of adding damping, makes our CubeWheels the ideal choice for missions requiring high precision and stability. With a distributed supply chain and automated production processes, the CS CubeWheel range offers robust, customisable, high-precision wheels that can be rapidly manufactured at high volumes and competitive pricing.
