Positioners and Masts

Positioners and Masts

A positioning system is available for military and civilian ground-based, shipboard and airborne applications. It is possible to integrate this with antenna and RF systems.

The positioner system includes an antenna positioner, Antenna Control Unit (ACU) and cables allowing the positioner to be controlled and monitored indoors. The positioner can operate in Azimuth or Azimuth and Elevation axis. It has a high load capacity and is designed to withstand extreme terrain and weather conditions.

A range of antenna masts are also available, including tubular, telescopic and winch-driven models. The range goes up to 18 m, supporting top loads of up to 35 kg.

PPM Systems can design and manufacture antennas to meet specific requirements. To discuss bespoke antenna design, please contact us.

Antenna Masts
ST Light Sectionalised Tubular Antenna MastProductST Antenna Masts
Description
Antennas masts ST-5, ST-8, ST-10 and ST-12 represent the family of light antenna masts. They are composed of tubular sections with joints and made of a polyester glass composite material (fiberglass). The mast has a tilting base fixed to the ground with iron pegs, with terminals for connecting radial ground wires. The mast is guyed on several levels with high quality polyester ropes.

ST-R Foldable Antenna MastProductST-R Antenna Masts
Description
The ST-R antenna mast is primarily intended for elevating and mounting light directional and omnidirectional wire antennas for mobile work. The base mast unit is a special three-leg stay made of aluminum alloy square tubes, with telescopic support legs made of composite material (glass reinforced polyester tubes). In normal conditions the mast does not need additional ropes and anchors. The three-leg stay is designed for very quick elevating of the mast also on inclined ground.

STV Winch Driven Telescopic Antenna MastProductSTV Antenna Masts
Description
STV telescopic winch operated antenna masts are suitable for use on the field as well as on vehicles in hard environmental conditions. The masts are composed of telescopic sections made of composite material. Longitudinal guiders provide excellent guidance when raising and lowering the masts, as well as additionally longitudinal stability. The mast can be erected with either a handheld or electrically operated winch.

STV-EW Electric Motorised Winch DriveProductSTV-EW Electric Winch
Description
The STV-EW electric motorised winch drive is intended for use with STV-type antenna masts. It is an add-on product to the 651 or 501 models of hand-driven winches. It enables easier elevating and retracting of the mast using a remote control unit, especially for higher mast heights and heavier loads.
