Just Sharing This New LNB changer motor

[Trust]

Since the first type motor for my lnb changer shows a bit of play and does not look industrial

I decided to make one of a Moteck SG2100 .
Drilled a 12 mm hole alltrough the mainshaft and the top cover of the moteck and made the conicle outcoming mainshaft 17 mm cylindrical to attach a 44 mm alu adapter .

This adapter fits in the 50 mm pvc tube where the 3 lnb's are attached to .
Took a 12 mm steel shaft welded at one side on steel plate , accurate fitting in the lower part of the feedarm .
Placed the motor over that 12 mm shaft
Cuttted a spare Fibo feedam in two and placed the unit between the 2 parts .

Modified the stubs for the endswitch in the moteck to a range of 180º .
Turning this full angle takes to much time so I modified the little gearbox by taking out some gears and making it smaller and faster .

Also have to change the program of the controller (Omron PLC)
This weekend found some time to finish (allmost) the new motor .
To make a movie for Youtube , attached it to my "Walking Fibo" .

When tomorrow the weather is kind to me , I gonna attach it to the Fibo on top of the house .

Always astonish me what men ingenuity can do. Excellent mate. Really Fab.

That.... is simply amazing, Wim! And very clever too from functioning perspective with the weight of the motor being under the dish rather than at the end of the LNB arm.

I don't suppose you want to build another one of those? ;)

I don't suppose you want to build another one of those? ;)

Without counting the hours , just thinking how to , I worked more than 100 hours at it .
Yes , for € 25 / hour + parts (SG2100 - PLC - tubes - clamps ) I will make another one (next year )
