Overview
At Ananth Technologies, we design and manufacture high-reliability Solar Array Deployment Mechanisms (SADM) that ensure flawless deployment of satellite solar panels in orbit. Built for GEO, LEO, interplanetary, and defence missions, our mechanisms combine exacting engineering, aerospace-grade materials, and rigorous qualification workflows to guarantee repeatability, stability, and mission-critical reliability.
End-to-End Design & Manufacturing
We offer a complete in-house development ecosystem — from precision mechanical design to high-fidelity testing and environmental qualification. Our SADM solutions are engineered for:
- Smooth, controlled deployment
- Repeatable performance across thermal cycles
- Minimal friction, torque ripple, and hysteresis
- Long-life operation for multi-year missions
- Custom configurations for small satellites to large multi-panel arrays

Specialized Characterization Laboratory
Our dedicated Solar Array Deployment Mechanisms Laboratory is equipped with advanced characterization systems to validate every hinge, spring, and release mechanism.
Hinge Characterization System
Measures hinge torque, stiffness, friction, and dynamic response. Ensures deployment profiles match mission specifications.
Spring Characterization System
Evaluates spring constants, preload behaviour, and hysteresis curves for reliable deployment forces.
Universal Testing Machine
Tensile, compressive, shear, and torsional tests to validate structural strength and endurance.
CMM & Profile Projector
Micron-level dimensional accuracy checks for hinges, shafts, and mechanical interfaces.
