just need some reviews on what u all think is the best motor for the 1.1m dish ? been looking into SUPERIOR DARK MOTOR METAL GEAR DiSEqC 1.2/1.3 USALS, is this a good motor or are there any better than this? [h=1][/h]
 
It has good reviews but I think some have issues.

TM2300 and TM2600 (metal gears) are recommended too.
 
From an installers angle, go for the 2600. From what I have seen, the dark motor has a noticeable backlash out of the box ;)
 
I'm also for the 2600.

I'd also consider a Clarke Tech which I've been using on my 1.2M Laminas dish for over a couple of years now. The only problem I've had is the dish moving round the motor stub in extreme winds. The motor is rock solid.
 
Sounds like you need a meatier Self-Grip Wench.
 
I would recommend the STAB either HH100 or HH120 probably the only Diseqc motor to come with a 3 year warranty

LOL. When moving it's rock solid......though that's me being oxymoronic...

I thought you had bought the polar mount and actuator for it ?

To stop the motor moving around the pole, drill a hole and put a bolt through it ?

No wod, I might have thought about it but right now, prefer using USALS. If the Laminas does have a design flaw it's clamps up to the motor stub are poorly made and thought out. I have had the motor moving slightly on the pole but usually a slight longitude alteration puts it right.
 
I'm quite impressed with my New Horizons motor. Its quicker than my old TM 2300 although its yet to experience high wind. The old TM2300 lasted through 4 or 5 strong gales with no issues at all.

Nano
 
AFAIK, the NH is a 2600 clone Nano.

Are you sure as the marketing spiel for the NH states it has Nylon Gears where as the TM2600 has all metal

From the Spec sheet:


Special Design for any Receiver with DiSEqC 1.2 Goto "X" 1.3
Only One Coaxial Cable Control
GoTo '0' Function
GoTo 'X' Function
High Efficiency
Memory for 100 Positions
Ultra Low Noise
Easy Installation with LED Indicator
New SMART Software for high resolution positioning
Manual EAST / WEST buttons
Antenna Anti-Skid Design
For Dish up to 1.2M
High tech engineering nylon gears Nylon Vs Steel Gears
Quality made parts to make this the best DiSEqC motor on the market
Overall stronger
Larger drive motor
Runs Quieter
Runs Smoother
1.2 & Goto "X" 1.3 Positioning
Heavy Duty Relays
Goto '0' is more precise
Quality counting circuit makes for better accuracy
 
Maybe the 2100 having nylon gearing then ;)
 
It doesn't appear to have a huge amount in common with the Moteck 2100a. The drive stub is a different size and the motor is a lot faster. It does also appear to be more accurate on the fringe satellites than the old TM-2300 or Moteck 2100a was :D

Only time will tell if it will last as long as the old TM-2300. The outer case of the motor is about the only thing it has in common with the 2100a.
 
thanks for all the replies everyone, just have gone with the TM2600, guess i wont be disappointed :D

I was disappointed, the Clarke-Tech is far better. I have them both , and yes the Superjack i have is the same as TM2600
