Motors with metal gears?

I'll take that risk, but I tested it before taking the cover off. To be quite honest, it is hardly worth sending these cheap motors back if you have to do it by post, best to write it off to experience.

moteck is not simular to darkmotor,i dont know maybe golde interstar has also his own oem manufactor,in an old dr dish isue,the also told,the the make there products alone,but i cant belive this,the buy most of the parts in taiwan!

i have a motor it called bigsat range up to 75 east and its oem made by motech

Sorry missunderstanding... i did not mean that the Golden Interstar and the Moteck is the same.
I just wanted to inform that Moteck really make motors to other brands,some says no they dont.


The Clarke-Tech motor are spec with metalgears so when they arrive i will open them up to see whats inside.

It looks that Golden Interstar ,Clarke-Tech,Darkmotor,Powetech are the same at the outside.

Have started a thread in the Pictures of Members' systems section Hakon, so we can keep a permanent record, so when you post them here, I'll make a copy to that thread.

I did find some more info about these DiSEqC motors.
It looks like there are different make of the OEM PowerTech.
Dark grey = Metal gear, even the big maingear
Silver = Plastic gear
There are also manual or automatic zero backlash adjustment.

In USA the Digiwave motors are sold as SG2100 and newer model SG6000. The SG2100 is also branded Motek by some vendors.

In the picture from Rolfw post above you can see the PCB is marked SG2100.

There were three different versions of this motor here the 'One button" motor was considered the best. Some do diseqc 1.2 only and some do USALS. However, they likely don't have license from Stab to use USALS.

Plastic gear or metal gear will run smooth and quiet if "Backlash" is adjusted properly. http://www.satellites.co.uk/satelli...280-backlash-adjustment-moteck-sg-2100-a.html has instructions on adjusting backlash.

From what I've seen, the original SG2100 was a Tiawan product. China took over production at lower cost, greater profitability for vendors. Quality control was terrible at first. Now with SG6000 better quality and better design. With SG6000 they copied the Stab mounting bracket and solved the bracket deformation problem with the SG2100.

The DG series has the metal gear but does not seem to work any better for 1.2 meter dish.
