The MTQ800 from AAC Clyde Space is a Magnetorquer that is designed for applications that require 50-200 Kg satellites. It has a dipole moment of 15-30 Am2 with a control accuracy of up to +/-10 %. This magnetorquer has a mass of 489 g and supports RS-422 and RS-485 interfaces. It requires a DC supply of 8-12.5 V and has a power consumption of up to 13200 mW. This magnetorquer has a unique boost mode that allows it to be pushed up to higher magnetic dipole moments for short-duration maneuvers. It measures 250 x 67 x 35 mm and is ideal for precise pointing and rapid de-saturation of any reaction wheels in the satellite.
