diseq motor for eurostar 1.3m

[sousssss]

hi
i purchased last year a eurostar 1.3m . i need some help because i need a good diseq motor recomendation from you guys. because the one i have at the moment is bit wobbly polar mount & linear actuator
it's a golden interstar i can't lock to the weak signals even when i tight it.
WHICH DISEQ MOTOR SHOULD I GO FOR ANY RECOMENDATIONS THANKS

A DiseqC motor won't last long on that size of dish. Stick to a polar mount/actuator combo.

Welcome to the forum BTW.

A polarmount and actuator should be much more stable than a DiSEqC motor on a dish that size, as Llew says, the dish is really too big for a DiSEqC motor anyway.

Can you upload some pictures of your dish and mount?

 

[Llew]

Also as the motor/pulse cables are presumably still in place, with means to drive the dish through them, I would consider it a retrograde step to downgrade to DiseqC steering.

 

[Lazarus]

Most DiSEqC Motors are specified for no more than 1.2m

And that is pushing it a bit, unless the Dish is Aluminium and in a sheltered location.

For anything bigger, forget it!

The dish has since been taken down.

It might be worth waiting for the replacement of the jaeger 1224 h-h motor 36v(no longer made) when its available. this would handle the dish size and be more stable than a worn polar mount.

here's the polar mount it's a diseq version from golden interstar .
and it's the only make i have ever used. but the actuator is driven by a 36v box. because the diseq sounded to me that is struggling.
thanks guys for the quick response.

when i had my 1.3 eurostar dish i used discq motor . i hate to say this it was from maplin called nikkai and it did work fine for long time
these type of dishes are not very havey . sorry i cant give any pic becouse i have sold mine few weeks ago

Actually on looking at your polarmount, a DiseqC motor probably would be better, it's a bit flimsy, particularly when combined with the flimsyness of the azel bracket on the dish.

You may need to put a sleeve on the pole and extend by a foot though, as a forward mount DiSEqC motor would probably be too low.

hi
has any got TM-2600 Super DiSEqE Motor
installed because that seems good motor from what i have read.
and maybe suitable for my dish any comments guys or suggestions are wellcome
thanks

 

[rolfw]

Most of them are good motors, but not really suitable for your dish. It is only because it is low down and sheltered that DiSEqC mounting can be contemplated.

 

[sousssss]

hi
i will extend the ground pole up a foot that is not a problem . apart from that i am just wondering if the diseq will be suitable for a long term
specially the one mentioned above.
thanks for your response.

 

[rolfw]

As said above, any DiSEqC motor is not really suitable, whether it lasts a while will depend on many factors, but as they are not particularly expensive, you'll have to suck it and see.
