The mechanics

The mechanical proposed, moving the dish only with a fixed base, it'is more difficult in the design and production, but offers the following advantages:

  • No base movements means no twisting of internal wiring, low power consumption in the searching phase, less mechanical stress due to the reduced weights of the support
  • The possibility of engine unit installation near solar panels, air conditioners, fireplaces, etc. with heights up to 25cm (up to 35cm modifying the limit parameters). The particular motion control has been developed in order to have the opening and closing positions aligned with the running direction of the vehicle. This peculiarity allowed to perform installations on vehicles where it was not possible for other products on the market. The movement uses all metal components and is mounted on high quality bearings (almost all products on the market simply uses bushings). PVC gear are adopted to handle the load limit of the azimuth and to absorb shocks on the swing motor.
  • Motors: high-quality, proven and robust Valeos, with optical control, already used by the most famous houses in the market for many years.
  • Base made in die-cast aluminium, in a single piece.

Arm: one-piece made in die-cast aluminum to ensure absolute robustness. Being very large, it provides a safe anchorage even with strong wind.

Technical features

  • Special mechanical structure with fixed base and rotation of the dish only, to avoid wiring and mechanical stress and to reduce power consumption
  • Aluminum and steel components mounted on self-lubricating ball bearings
  • High quality motor encoder Valeo/Nidec
  • Die-cast aluminum arm, with large section for outstanding wind resistance
  • High strength Aluminum plate, with 4mm thickness; can be fixed by glue or by screws on the motorhome roof
  • No maintenance
  • Maximum reliability and durability
