RESHETNEV improves the methods of transformable mechanisms production

Small-module gear wheel manufactured by plasma nitriding method

RESHETNEV company experts have developed and implemented the technology enhancing the lifetime of electromechanical devices

Plasma nitriding allowed improving durability of fine-module gear wheels used in solar arrays and onboard antennas drive mechanisms.

Treatment with nitrogen ions gives gear wheel surfaces additional protection against mechanical damage, which increases their durability and reliability.

This method enabled RESHENTEV to keep decreasing mass and dimensions of transformable mechanisms, thus giving the produced satellites competitive edge.
