SPID type BIG-RAK Heavy Duty AZIMUTH ROTATOR.
This SPID BIG-RAK Azimuth Rotator is a heavy duty antenna rotator in the same general class as the M2 Orion 2800, Emoto 1300, Emoto 1800 but with advanced digital features.
Mechanical complexity is reduced to a minimum by utilizing a double worm gear drive system. Position readout is sensed by a magnetic reed switch and has high accuracy pointing - 0.5 degree resolution !!
It;s able to take large antenna on top of rotator without extra support bearing.
| This SPID BIG-RAK AZ Rotator will handle MonstIR by SteppIR !!! |
BIG AZ Rotator
This BIG-RAK AZ Rotator is easy to mount, will handle MonstIR by SteppIR !!!
Braking is very quite using double worm gear
You can turn your antenna 360 degree + and - 180 degree, able to pass coax thru the centre of rotator and using non chell mount.
You don't need high power voltage.
Low D.C. Voltage to rotator (Max 18 Volt)
Available power supplies page
Also no special wiring, long cable runs OK.
No fixed mount direction, settable North or South
Rotating torque is in the 2800 to over 4095 lb-inch range, with between 12 and 18 volts DC to the motor. The 18 volt measured torque is 3600 lb-inches (403 Newton meters). This is significantly more than any other rotator in the same price range, and even higher than other rotators costing nearly twice as much (M2 Orion 2800, Emoto 1300, Emoto 1800).
Specifications Torque at:
* 12Volts 2800 lb in (315Nm)
* 18Volts 3600 lb in (403Nm)
* Weight of rotator: 12kG
This BIG-RAK Azimuth rotator can be mounted at max. 68mm (2,6inch) mast tube (top and bottum). Available is a adaptor for mounting on a base plate in a head mast unit.
The SPID BIG-RAK AZ Rotator has 0.5 degree positioning accuracy, Coax can pass through center of rotator - prevents cable damage, Low voltage - high torque DC gear head motor.
