hello gentlemen

this thread is intended for sharing information about making lnb holder, SCALARS, and etc. as I have discovered its not easy at all to get these things in nigeria and fabrication requires knowing what you are aiming for.


please do come in and share knowledge. especially those folks who are good at the maths things.

I tend to believe sat tracking should be more of a precise science than trial and error which newbies do till they get the hang of it.


so please for instance:

if I were to make the curved bar holder in the attached picture. at what degree will this bar be curved? what will be the distance between the holders measurement wise to make the screw holes? etc.




NB: if perchance you know where one can get these things rather than stress out making them do share..... iv been trying to contact the guy who advertised this one but he does not pick his calls nor reply texts or msils

other examples iv seen on nairaland

more

think the last pic is the most elegant solution and should be the easiest?

pple pls chip in ideas and stuff......

my rough sketch ideas.


no vex, i no be science student when i went to school many many years ago. and i was crap at Technical Drawing


Material = thick but bendable aluminium.

will be curved at an angle i don't know... perhaps someone knows at what angle the holder should be curved?


should be fairly long.. (the sketch is not representative of the size!!!)


the LNB holder will be held by a screw through that groove that applies pressure... (didn't really think this part through . maybe the maker will have sound ideas on how to hold it) can be inserted via the top and the bottom depending on where ur targeting.
can be moved easily from side to side, up and down....

should not be too hard to make i guess...... two long pieces of aluminium. one cut in two and bent. holes drilled for screws or tack-bolted at the joints

the middle is bolted to the arm holding the LNB at the dish. will probably require a longer bolt than comes with the dish.


ideas? contributions?

NB. This sketch and device is patented!! if i see it in the market na kasala ooooo
