some guys said: you can't find a v-box positioner, but these days I'm looking for an actuator, strong enough and 10 inch or less. (this is for the declination on my 2m prime) I only find a very thin actuator, I have many old 18 or 24 inch actuators but it is too long for this use.
I find out an interesting thing about the actuator: the worm inside is still imperial size and all of my 18 and 24 actuators are 8 turns per inch, the smallest is 13 turns per inch: it is called 8UN or 13UN.
with the reed sensor and counting each change of state I get 8 pulses per revolution so it's 64 pulses / inch so you can calculate each sat position.
PS Can someone sell me a short powerful actuator?
