Hiltron Communications' new HMAM motorized satellite antenna mount, scheduled for introduction at IBC 2009, is designed for two-way VSAT communication or receive-only downlink applications. The combined head and drive form a three-axis motorized system with 180 degrees of azimuth adjustment, 90 degrees of elevation adjustment range and fully adjustable polarisation. The HMAM comes complete with a flexible support plate allowing the attachment of all kinds of reflectors with a diameter between 1.2M to 3.4M. The rotating pedestal mount is made of hot-dip galvanized steel. Azimuth movement is accomplished via an axle bearing with a drive motor and allows the entire satellite arc to be covered from any position on the planet. Elevation movement is accomplished via a jackscrew with a further drive motor. This design and the use of resolver-angle indicators ensure highly reliable and very accurate positioning far beyond the stability of commercial-grade actuator solutions. The very high rigidity of the construction ensures essentially zero backlash. Options for the Hiltron HMAM motorized antenna mount include a satellite tracking system, inclined orbit tracking, integration of parabolic reflectors according to customer preference, de-ice systems, and a choice of standard steel mounts or non-penetrating mounts.
