Our Legacy Series AZ/EL/AZ positioners provide

accurate rotation, velocity, and direction for customers

involved in antenna design and development.

Their rugged yet simple construction ensures maximum

reliability and trouble-free operation, yielding the best

size and weight versus performance ratio.

Typically, the primary components include the body, precise slew bearings, DC motors, gear reducers,

synchro assemblies, and limit switch assemblies. The turntable surface is designed with a threaded

mounting hole pattern for customer use. A Safe/Operate switch is included to ensure the safety

of working personnel.
