Rotator accessories

GS-050	Thrust bearing GS-050 Info freight charges 50 mm thrust bearing for mast diameters up to 50 mm, ball bearing design, with 4 installation bolts. The bearing can be used without a mast platform with guys (see drawing); the required support ring to attach the guys are supplied with the GS-050. Small protective metal pieces prevent any damage to the mast when fixing the installation nuts. Mechanical installation as with the model GS-680U, however, mast diameter only 66 mm. Does not fit the rotator platforms! Order No. 25020 44.50 € Buy now
GS-065	Thrust bearing GS-065 Info freight charges Thrust bearing for mast diameters up to 65 mm, 8 nuts, double ball bearing design. All other data see model GS-050. Diameter of the hole in the mounting platform is 85 mm (see drawing). Order No. 25021 67.70 € Buy now	Rotator support with guyed thrust bearing
GS-680U	Thrust bearing GS-680U Info freight charges Heavy duty thrust bearing with tilt compensation up to 5 degrees. Mast diameter 35-68 mm, weight approx. 1.4 Kg. The mast pipe is fixed by means of two mast clamps. Installation holes same as with GS-65. The bearing can be disassembled, so it can be mounted on an existing mast without removing the antennas.

GPF-60	Rotator platform Info freight charges Heavy-duty platform for rotators and thrust bearing up to 60mm rotating mast diameter, fixed mast diameter 50-70mm. Hot-dipped galvanized. Distance from center of mast to end of platform: approx. 275mm. Distance from center of mast to center of mounting position (center of rotor/bearing): approx. 195mm. Order No. 25031 49.20 € Buy now
GC-038/048	Set of clamps Info freight charges Set of clamps for YAESU rotators. These clamps are required in case the rotator is installed on top of a mast instead on a platform. Supplied complete with a set of galvanized nuts & bolts. Order No. 25025 GC-038 for G-450 to G-1000 34.60 € Buy now 25026 GC-048 for G-2800 53.80 € Buy now
	Absorber joint Info freight charges Tower Absorber Joint for KENPRO/YAESU Rotators Absorber joints for KENPRO/YAESU rotators; installed in-between rotator and installation platform. Allows compensation of up to 2 degrees tilt. Reduces strain and torque of the rotator and avoids sudden block of the rotation. The integrated shock absorber further reduce vertical torque caused by wind gusts as well as mechanical shock and vibrations originating from starting and stopping the rotator.
