Hi guys, my previous post (reference soft-start and frequency regulation of motor on a rotating tower) drew no responses :( :(... ...so I'll try it from another angle. I'm about to erect 102ft of 20i
Richard, While I don't have a stack, I have used the same TailTwister rotor since 1985 without it requiring service with a 34' boot yagi. As many know, the T2X has a manual soft stop mechanism operat
It wasn't clear why you were concerned. Soft starts are common in industrial applications, though I can't recall ever seeing one used where the output of the reduction drive was 1 RPM! That motor spe
All of my rotators use a soft start and stop so yes I would recommend this feature. In my case I use all Green Heron rotator controllers which have an adjustable ramp speed. I believe that it pulses
Hi Al, and thanks Charles, John and John (2!) for your swift input! I had queried Green Heron initially but went on to purchase (the locally available) 4O3A RG...only to learn (after their online doc
If that's your concern, maybe some kind of overrunning clutch arrangement is possibly a solution? Yes, I know the application is bidirectional.... An electronic solution to the problem is likely to b

Richard, I have a 147' R55 rotating tower with 5 monobanders for 15 - 40 as well as a rotary 80 meter dipole at the top. I had concerns about momentum but have to say it really hasn't proved to be a
