MI-54000 Family of Elevation over Azimuth Positioners

Features

  • Permits rotation of elevation axis at fixed azimuth positions
  • Rugged construction assures superior reliability and longevity

Description

The MI-54000 Family of Elevation over Azimuth Positioners permits the rotation of elevation at fixed positions of azimuth. This particular orthogonal operation is desired in a telemetry application. The positioners listed may be considered for operation in a temperate climate or within the confines of a radome for a low cost, manual telemetry application.

Ordering Information

Each MI-54000 positioner is delivered as a single unit. Cables and positioner control units are ordered separately. If an RF path through the position is desired, please select the appropriate option.

The MI-54000 Family of Elevation over Azimuth Positioners are assembled in the (standard) eccentric configuration as shown. All except the Model 54050 can easily be converted to the concentric configuration during installation.
