The Motorized Bearing System is a fully-integrated proprietary system, combining a rugged variable speed motor and field-proven DC motor controller into one easy-to-install assembly. Seamlessly operated via our joystick throttles or finger throttles, the Motorized Bearing System is designed for effortless operation allowing the operator to concentrate fully on their assignment without distractions.

The Problem:
Tremendous physical effort is required for the operator to manually rotate the bearing with heavy GPKs and cupolas. Manually operated bearings also require the operator to disengage the target while slewing the weapon.

The Solution:
The Motorized Bearing System can be rapidly installed in the bearing, enabling:

1. Quicker target acquisition for increased lethality

2. Maintaining a constant sight picture of the target by eliminating the need for the operator to remove their hands from the weapon to traverse the bearing.

3. Better control over weapon positioning than non-powered solutions.

4. Reduced operator fatigue and improved function, as the bearing can be easily operated under high slope/gradient conditions.

Features and Benefits:

• Easy-to-install system that can be applied to any specialized vehicle

• Provides power to move bearings with payloads up to 2000 lb./910 kg. (dependent upon gunner protection kit (GPK)/weapon geometry)

• Easy to use engagement/disengagement handle

• Manual override

• Ideal for driving manual bearings with heavy GPKs/cupolas

• A cost effective and efficient solution for automating existing manual bearings
