                                              Antenna Rotator Type AR/A 1050
A Journey through 75 Years of History         Der Antennenrotor TYPE AR/A 1050 ist speziell für eine Flanschbefestigung entwickelt worden.
                                              Die Gehäuse der Rotore sind aus legiertem Aluminiumsandguss und warm ausgehärtet.

                                              Die Antriebseinheiten Azimut wird über zwei DC-Getriebemotoren angetrieben.
                                              Die DC-Mikromotoren zeichnen sich aus durch:
                                                   kleines Massenträgheitsmoment
                                                   sehr kurze Hochlaufzeit
                                                   hoher Wirkungsgrad
                                                   hohes Leistungs- und Volumenverhältnis
                                                   eisenlose Rotorspule mit freitragender Schrägwicklung.
                                              Der Getriebemotor treibt über einen Vorgelegestirnradsatz die hochpräzise Schneckenrad-Endstufe an. Die
                                              Getriebestufen und die Schneckenrad-Endstufe sind mit einer Dauerschmierung versehen und weitestehend
                                              wartungsfrei.
                                              Der Rotor ist gegen das Eindringen von Schwallwasser abgedichtet und mit einem Druckausgleichs- und Be-
