Antenna Positioners

AvL Technologies and Andrew Corporation license the Roto-Lok® rotary drive technology for their antenna positioning products. Sagebrush's patented drive technology is ideally suited to position satellite antennas of any size. The antenna positioners take advantage of the superb stiffness and total freedom from backlash provided by the Roto-Lok® drive.

The following examples show the Roto-Lok® rotary drive being used in a variety of applications where it provides reliable, maintenance free performance in the highest winds and worst environmental conditions. Please contact Sagebrush Technology for antenna applications that cannot be met by Andrew Corporation or AvL Technologies products.

AvL Technologies provides antenna systems ranging from a portable 1-meter auto-acquisition system to antenna systems up to 2.4 meters. AvL’s internationally approved 1.5-meter antenna systems meet Eutelsat, Intelsat, Asiasat requirements, and can be configured for Ku, C or X-band operation. Their 1.2-meter system was designed to be the lowest cost, lightest weight DSNG antenna system in the marketplace.
