NEWSMarch 2012 – HT Servo on the move !
HT Servo is pleased to announce completion on the purchase of our new offices in Worthing called Motion House. We will update all our customers, suppliers and business associates in due course of the new address once we take occupancy, for now it's business as usual at Capella House our current home. Thankyou February 2012 – Gun Auto-Loader Multiple Motion Control
HT Servo Limited commenced discussions in 2008 with BAE Systems for an Auto-Loader on a new 155mm gun system for The Third Generation Maritime Fire Support concept program. The Auto-Loader required precision motion control equipment on multiple axes of motion for the transport, fusing and loading of the armament into the breach of the 155mm gun system. HT Servo supplied customised servomotors and drive amplifiers from Kollmorgen where several axes of motion were required from small AKM servo-motors (transfer/rammer axes) to larger CH series Direct Drive motors (drum axis) to a fully customised Goldline motor with hand-crank option. The whole project took 2 years to complete and was highly successful following firing trials in 2009, unfortunatley due to UK government cuts the project was put 'on-ice' for the forseeable future.

October 2011 – Lighter Than Air - Long Endurance Multi-intelligence Vehicle
The Long Endurance Multi-inteligence Vehicle (LEMV) is a state of the art hybrid military airship which will provide intelligence, surveillance and reconnaisance for ground troops. The vehicle is capable of operating at 20,000ft above sea level, has 21 days of on-station availability, can fly for 2000 mile radius and be runway independant. Not quite a 'blimp' these ships are described as hybrid airships, which gains lift from 3 different sources. The first is the same aerostatic lift that a blimp gets from helium, second is aerodynamic lift with the utilisation of composite materials allowing rigid lightweight hull designs and lastly vectored thrust from diesel engines and vector vanes which builds on aerodynamic lift. HT Servo Ltd was selected to supply multiple-axes of motion for the control and steering mechanisms on the LEMV system which has now successfully passed CDR.September 2011 – A Successful Exhibition....

Well Done the HT Servo Team !! July 2011 – Submersible Motors Take The Pressure
HT Servo ramps up for final deliveries of our Submersible Motor products utilised on the Towed Array Handling System (TAHS) for the Spanish Navy. Begining work in late 2002 HT Servo Limited started discussions with QinetiQ to replace hydraulic systems with all electric drive modules for submarine systems. In 2004 after prototype servomotors were delivered and proved successful the commencement of a project called RTOF (Recoverable Tethered Optical Fibre) Buoy began with UKMOD and USDOD for a joint technology demonstrator which would enable a robust two-way communications between surface ships and submarines operating at speed and depth. RTOF bought a wealth of knowledge and experiences for all the engineering partners with the culmination of the TAHS of which 4 systems were supplied to the Spanish Navy for the S80 Submarines. HT Servo supplied Kollmorgen's 'S' series submersible motors on multiple axes for use on the winch mechanism and pump systems. The 'S' series motors are offered in a range of sizes from continuous torque of 1.5Nm-90Nm and peak torques from 2.4Nm-131Nm; the motors can operate at ocean depths of 20,000ft.
