Development and Manufacture of A Proof-of-Concept Magnetically-Geared Actuator for Use in Extremely Cold Lunar EnvironmentsA magnetically-geared actuator is being developed for extremely cold space environments to avoid the wiring and significant efficiency penalty associated with heating grease-lubricated actuators as well as the stringent life and loading constraints imposed by dry film lubricated mechanical gears. This paper describes the lessons learned while designing, manufacturing, and assembling a proof-of-concept prototype similar to the preliminary design of the actuator.
