[QUOTE="Trust, post: 1044952, member: 181524"] For a heavy dish with several lnb's at a diseqc rotor , its hard working to bring it back from a far east or west position . To help the rotor doing that , the STAB rotor has a system with spring inside . I've never seen such system in any other rotor , so I thought about making that for the Moteck type rotors . Made a kind of drum around the elbow pipe with a steel cable , two pulley's and two springs with adjustable tensioners . Started with a empty SG2100 , just with the main shaft , with equal tension the elbow shaft is on zero . The springs are pre-tensioned to keep the cable on the drum when turning to the other direction . To keep de drum fixed to the pipe , I made two shells that kept in place by replacing the M8 X 50 pipe bolt by a longer one , and covered by a piece of alu pipe . For the final test I have to buy a longer steel cable and put back the motor and worm in the SG2100 . Will do the test with the CM 1.2 and the 5 lnb revolver and noticing the current turning with and without the spring assistant . If its working OK I will it also make at the Twoteck .
