New Product Release: SG9120 DiSEqC Motor

[WSInternational]

I wanted to take a second and release a new product that I have been working on for the past few months. This has come as a direct result of our customers demanding a better quality motor and a true heavy duty DiSEqC motor that can handle a 1.2m antenna with ease.

This is the new SG-9120 DiSEqC motor. Compared to the old SG6000, the SG-9120 has metal gears, which is excellent for handling larger and heavier 1.2m satellite dishes, and is already out-fitted with a 50mm tube for better stability. The 50mm tube allows a stable installation of an antenna. Included in the package are 4 additional longer nuts and bolts that fit our famous WS9036 36 inch satellite dish to allow the installation of the WS9036 36 inch dish or similar on the 50mm tube.

Since the SG9120 DiSEqC motor is truely made for heavy duty operation and comes with a 50mm tube, it prohibits installation of a Winegard DS2076 model or most Fortec Star 80/90cm models.

Robby,
I purchased my motorized system from you last April and the kit consist of a Fortec Star Dynamic receiver (Great SD receiver BTW), a Fortec Star Turner motor and a WS9036 with a 3 foot tripod.

I would like to know if the SG9120 motor to mast bracket is of heavier and sturdier metal than the Fortec Star Turner motor?

BTW James was a great help to me when I first started in FTA he is a valuable asset to your organization.
Thanks in advance,
MikeLib

Looks like an interesting product. From the pictures, it seems to bear a close resemblance to the SG-2100 and the SG-6000, but with more robust hardware.

Interesting that there are 360 degrees of teeth.
Is the worm gear still metal?

Hi Mike. Thanks for your business. We appreciate it very much and also thank for your compliments of James.

To answer your question, the metal bracket is largere than the HH42 bracket. Also, depending on how far back you can install the actual motor on the bracket, if you are between 0-35 degrees latitude, you can use the upper groove and the motor will be about 1.25" close to the back of the motor bracket. This will make it a bit sturdier. Also the guage of the steel metal used is a bit of a lower guage.

Here area couple of comparison photos...

Yes, the worm gear is still metal. Check out these picture.

 

[brotherhood]

very nice
now its time for a motor that can handle a 6ft offset LOL

 

[1ADAM12]

Yes, the worm gear is still metal. Check out these picture.

Robby, thanks for those detailed pics.

This has self adjusting backlash?

Glad to see that they changed the bracket design, This one won't deform when mounted to a mast.

Now if you can get them to improve the insertion loss by adding a 10mh choke on the pcb you've really got something. Can you post a pic of the pcb straight on?

Great job WSI, how nice to see the guts of a mechanical product you need buy.

Nice looking product. Thanks for showing it

Hi,

My dad bought one of these for me last week. Y'all delivered it like super fast! Wow!

Ok, here's the question. I'm trying to get a primestar 1 meter dish to work on this motor. I'll have to get someone like my dad to make an adapter to hook the dish to the motor.

The BIG question all the great guys here are telling me I need to find out about is how much WEIGHT will this motor handle? I have no idea what that dish weighs but I don't want to put too much on it and break it or wear it out or something. Or maybe burn it out or blow up the computer even!

I read the little instruction book that came with the motor but it does not mention weight any where that I could find.

Thank you!

X2^^,
I have a primestar dish that I am looking for a motor for that can handle the weight and hopefully last.

Bobby,
Looks like a really sturdy design.
I have had problems with an HH120 where the gear started to loosen from the shaft (that the dish mounts on). It used a nut which I removed, cleaned, and re-installed using lock-tight thread sealer. Seems to be working so far (a year later) on a 4' Fortec Star dish. I see from the pictures the big metal gear appears to be pressed into place. Do you think this is more sturdy than the threaded shaft? It looks like it is less likely to come loose...

Also the weight capacity as mentioned above would be good to know.

Tnx..

Sorry for the delay in answering questions guys.

I will take a photo of the PCB as soon as I get back to the office later next week. As for the backlash, yes, it's just like the SG6000 model. The main difference between the two is the 50mm shaft and the metal gear.

Up to about 45lbs should not be a problem. A 1m Primestar dish should not be a problem.

To be honest, I can not say because I have never personally worked or checked the HH120. I don't want to make a statement that is not based on my full knowledge of a product.

Maybe someone who owns both can give you the answer.

 

[Dee_Ann]

are 50mm tubes available for this motor?

Thank you!

 

[pro96]

question for you WSIATLANTA re: this new SG9120.

How come the actual dish arm faces down, and not up like the Stab HH120 did? Seems like all new motors made for larger dishes like 100cm/120cm don't face up but down.

 

[WSInternational]

are 50mm tubes available for this motor?

Yes. This one already has the 50mm tube installed when you purchase it. No need to buy a 50mm tube.

To keep the price econimical and still be able to offer a heavy duty motor, and since there is no major performance difference between the two, I decided to keep the SG6000 housing that was already available to us instead of having to have new tooling made for housing the the SG9120. And very honestly, I really like the design of the housing.
