About

The Support-rotary Device 2, released in 2014, is a robust ground-segment component engineered for antenna systems with a mirror size of up to 6 meters in diameter. It features a three-axis full-swing slewing ring, incorporating an azimuthal elevation drive system and an additional tilt axis, providing comprehensive pointing capabilities. The device offers working angles of ±270° in azimuth, 0° to 180° in elevation, and ±14° by the tilt axis. It can achieve azimuth and elevation operating speeds of up to 6.0°/s, and a tilt working speed of up to 1.5°/s. The system is designed to support an antenna and equipment with a combined mass of less than 1500.0 kg. With a guaranteed service life of 10 years, this product can be adapted to customer requirements, with an estimated production and delivery time of 12 months.
