I was meaning mechanical stops for antenna. Those ones, in actuator, of course should be adjusted as needed.

They are safety stops I don't trust setting them up in the stb so I set them in the actuator, please watch this rima, this is what I do to keep every thing safe from damage.

Martin! I know those switches very well and adjusted them many times. But what I would like to say: by moving those switches too far you will shorten length of actuator , which is not good. Better in that case is adjusting of positions of actuator's mounting points to use it's maximum length, that gives more strength to system.

I cant see that been a problem as long as I can reach the sats, I have no need to bolt/drill anything until I put the other motor on it for inclined orbits, but thanks for you ideas rima

I think that with existing but properly adjusted actuator, you can get full Clarke-belt, of course, with deceptions where you have obstacles.
Anyway, good project and good field for future installations. Have a great weekend (no rain)

Thank you rima, atm I can get from 57e to 61w , by the time I have set stops a little beyond this they wont be much travel left on the actuator, Thanks again and I hope you have a good weekend take care ,

I never bothered to set any limits on my big dish. Even now with my diseqc motor I don't bother to set any limits.

I like the methods you and rima used for quick adjustment. I used threaded bar and some nuts and clamps and a thick pair of leather gloves. The gloves were essential!

On my 1mtr diseqc motor limits are set by itself hexah 61.5w/57e It wont go any further, I must set limits on my bigger dish as it will hit the pole,

I learnt the hard way to start with messing with the actuator and had to mess around finding sats again once bitten,

Leather gloves now your talking come on spill the beans

If I didn't use them I would be typing with my nose.

Its not that I can not spell, I never wear gloves, I look like a chicken when typing
