MI-56000 Family of Polarization Positioners

Description

The MI-56000 Family of Polarization Positioners is available to support maximum loads of up to 3000 lbs. The bolt-hole pattern on the positioner turntable is compatible with MI-Technologies transmitting antennas and the mounting flanges for MI-Technologies standard gain horns. A through-center hole facilitates installation of coaxial cable, waveguide, rotary joints, and RF components.

Several models in each load-rated category provide a wide range of speed options. The optional limit switches may be set to provide total travel from 20 degrees to 800 degrees. Unless specified, the limit switches will be set for 400 degrees of travel.
