Good KU Dish Mover
What is a good KU Band dish mover? I have tried a couple and they both had a little play in the gearing. You can rock the dish a little with minimal pressure.
I have a SG2100 that I am trying to fix. And a Stab HH120.
Thanks

Re: Good KU Dish Mover
Yes, you're right. I have a brand new SG2100 and the small play in the gearing sometimes when moving keep the dish just a bit off creating problems when using small dishes. Not to many choices out there thou

i have play in a MICROROYAL H2H drive too
Re: Good KU Dish Mover
I have got a few motors which have lasted years and still going.
There will be a bit of play after a few years, they still track the satellites that I require, the item is (Technomate TM2600 H-H DISEQC motor.

Re: Good KU Dish Mover
I have an old SG2100 still running after 15 years of use.I bought a newer SG2100 years after that and there was "slop" in the movement after about 8 years.I took the rotation arm that attaches to the reflector and found a small worn spot causing the slop.I took some aluminium tape and built-up the spot enough to get rid the slackness.I can't be sure this is the same situation in your case?
Re: Good KU Dish Mover
Ive always used the SG2100 its very old but still works great....but im sure you cant find the old ones anymore... i bought it on fleabay long time ago I used it on a primestar oval dish and turned the dish upside down and remounted the lnb worked great .But the dish got broke and hard to find a primestar dish now LOL hope this helps.

Re: Good KU Dish Mover
the dish got broke and took the motor off im in north dakota working now in oil field .but my home is in MO i just rent here . i just fliped it and i could mount the sg2100 so it worked better and followed the arch so much better had to use some 2 inch pvc to put the shaft of the motor inside the pvc and clamp the dish mount down on the pvc it was a homemade job always trying something new back then.. yeah cpr your right wished i had pics of all my homemade toys but didnt have a cell phone back then lol didnt need one lol . still have a 10ft dish back home and use to have hellobox but support got cut. like how it is always but fun to play . when i rented out my house my 12 foot dish was stolen and sold for scrap lol it was a scientific Atlantic 12 FT dish from a school i bought it from.. it worked super now just have a 10ft mesh lol
Re: Good KU Dish Mover
90% of the time the slop in the HH-motor is in the single bolt that holds the shaft to the motor and not in the gears.
Re: Good KU Dish Mover
Hello iq180 try to find some old bolts there a little better size that you can buy today or go to a big box store and look in the hardware section and look at the bolts in the special section your going to pay a little extra but take it all in with you you to try to find the better size ... Or a local welding shop might be able to help you . they can put it in a vise and drill through it all and have the same sized bolt for that so it stays connected and no slop in the dish.. hope this helps .
Re: Good KU Dish Mover
Yes, I know, I am a werder my self as well as a auto repair man,I weld, I solder, and I repair computers too, I find the best way to fix the slop is to split the shaft with a hacksaw so it can close up tight on the motor end,JMHO.railroad wrote: ↑Sun Apr 05, 2020 5:54 pmHello iq180 try to find some old bolts there a little better size that you can buy today or go to a big box store and look in the hardware section and look at the bolts in the special section your going to pay a little extra but take it all in with you you to try to find the better size ...

Re: Good KU Dish Mover
A quick and simple idea may be a stretch strap from the edge of the dish to something, so the slop is always in one direction.
