36KR learned that recently, China’s self-developed HH-100 commercial unmanned transport aircraft successfully completed its first flight test in Shaanxi, marking the formal transfer of this type of aircraft to the scientific research test flight stage. Among them, the UAV electromechanical actuation system was developed by the hard technology enterprise “Star Drive” and successfully applied to the flight test of this commercial unmanned transport aircraft.

DS200SLCCG1AFG “Star Drive” was established in Beijing in 2021, is a “aviation, aerospace, navigation” servo system research and development, design, mass production, testing and after-sales “the whole process, systematic” supporting services and private suppliers. Is a national high-tech enterprise focusing on the development, design and mass production of military and civil servo systems (intelligent electromechanical actuator system, high-performance electric steering gear system), committed to providing customers with “sea, land, air and space” weaponry and equipment steering gear system products and services, has established a complete aviation and aerospace product development system. And has servo system development and mass production quality control capabilities.

Last year, “Air Star Transmission” announced the completion of tens of millions of yuan Pre-A round of financing, and the cumulative financing has exceeded 100 million yuan since its establishment. The round of financing was invested by CITIC Construction Investment, Silk Road Golden Bridge and Guoyi Capital.

Servo system is one of the main power sources of industrial automation control equipment, which is mainly composed of four parts: servo control driver, servo motor, transmission components, feedback components (high-performance sensors). The meaning of servo is “follow”, which refers to the following control of position, speed or torque according to the command signal.

By responding to control instructions and setting control parameters, the servo system can achieve accurate, fast and stable position control, speed control and torque control through multi-dimensional closed-loop mode, and can also meet the needs of different controlled objects through adaptive intelligent control algorithms. Therefore, servo systems are widely used in high-end intelligent automation control fields that require high positioning accuracy, running speed, product reliability, working life and response bandwidth.

DS200SLCCG1AFG Among them, mechanical and electrical servomechanism due to the use of good maintenance, simple product support, high efficiency ratio, especially suitable for large, medium and small power levels (50KW or less) of actual combat weapons and equipment, various rockets and unmanned aerial systems.

The huge market space of intelligent equipment market pulls the demand release of servo system (steering gear system), such as: commercial rockets, drones, underwater vehicles and other scenarios the cumulative market size of tens of billions, the future market space is huge. Specifically, according to Guolian Securities forecast, by 2026, the existing market size of military servo system will exceed 20 billion yuan; With the advent of the low-altitude economic era, the market size of the all-electric steering gear system brought by multi-electric drones and eVTOL and other application scenarios is expected to exceed 10 billion yuan, while the commercial space track is hot, but still in the initial stage of development, the existing market size of servo is about 500 million yuan, and it is predicted that by 2030, it will usher in explosive growth. Servo product market size will exceed 5 billion yuan. In addition, according to relevant agencies, the global underwater vehicle industry is expected to grow to $9.122 billion by 2025.

In 2019, the first private commercial rocket was successfully launched, and Yue Zhenbo, CEO of “Aerospace Transmission”, saw the development opportunity of commercial aerospace, and he decided to lead the team to cut into the research and development field of commercial rocket servo system.
