Final selection depends on load, supply, installation space, control requirements and complete-device validation.
Selection requirements
What do we need to know?
Please share the operating conditions below. The selected motor still needs testing in your equipment to confirm performance and fit.
Motion and load
the tracked target, rotation range, daily position changes, holding state, and variation caused by wind or mechanism resistance
Power and control
machine power and control interfaces, station commands, cycle timing, feedback, interlocks, stopping and recovery
Space and interfaces
the envelope on the array or support, connection to the reflector, cable route, and on-site assembly and service access
Duty and environment
sun and rain, temperature and humidity cycling, dust and grit, wind load, shock and vibration, storage, and field-maintenance conditions
Testing and production
target tracking and holding, position changes, wind or obstruction states, safe stopping, field reset, and consistency through long-term outdoor operation
Select motors for the actual operating conditions and validate them in the complete device.
