Part Number:
E46‐17‐_S‐000‐__ (PTU‐E46‐17)
E46‐70‐_S‐000‐__ (PTU‐E46‐70)
E46‐1770‐_S‐000‐__ (PTU‐E46‐17P70T)
Weatherization
The PTU‐E46 is available with the following IP65 weatherization:
- Clear epoxy coating added to motors
- Silicone sealant around screws and cable attachments
- Rubber seals and plastic washers around knobs
- Gasket sealing around outside edges of motors
- Stainless steel screws

Part Number:
E46‐17W‐_S‐000‐__ (PTU‐E46‐17W)
E46‐70W‐_S‐000‐__ (PTU‐E46‐70W)
E46‐1770W‐_S‐000‐__ (PTU‐E46‐17P70TW)
Rotation
The PTU‐E46 can be configured for standard or nodal (gimbal) rotation. Nodal rotation allows the payload to be mounted at the center of rotation of both pan and tilt axes, which allows you to program payload movement as pure rotation in both axes without translation.
Part Number:
E46‐__-S_‐000‐__ (standard axes)
E46‐__-N_‐000‐__ (nodal axes)
Side Mounting Bracket
Part Number:
D46‐BKT‐ZSTD
Range of Motion
The PTU‐E46 has the following standard factory pan and tilt axis limits. Factory limits define the range of motion allowed for an axis when limits are enabled, and that axis cannot travel beyond those limits.
