Horizontal Positioning Arm for Antenna Mounting Systems

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Horizontal Positioning Arm

Definition

The Horizontal Positioning Arm is a critical component of the Internal Antenna Mounting System that enables fine-tuned horizontal alignment of antennas. It functions as an adjustable linkage that allows operators to precisely position antennas along the horizontal plane to optimize signal reception, transmission patterns, and spatial orientation within confined internal spaces. Constructed from aluminum alloy or stainless steel, the arm is engineered for durability and corrosion resistance, with material grades such as 6061-T6 aluminum alloy referenced in ASTM B221. The arm supports a maximum load capacity of 50–200 kg, with a horizontal adjustment range of ±100–±300 mm, depending on arm length. Positioning accuracy is ±0.1–±0.5 mm, and repeatability is ±0.05–±0.2 mm, ensuring consistent antenna alignment. The operating temperature range is -40 to 85°C, and the degree of protection is IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529, suitable for indoor and outdoor environments. The arm weighs 5–15 kg, with an adjustment torque of 5–20 N·m for manual operation, and a locking force of 500–2000 N to hold position under vibration. These parameters are reference ranges that must be verified for the specific model and application. The arm's design includes mechanical linkages and adjustment mechanisms, such as telescoping sections, sliding tracks, or articulated joints, allowing controlled horizontal movement. Locking mechanisms secure the arm at desired positions once optimal antenna placement is achieved, ensuring stable positioning during operation. For procurement, verify model-specific values and standards with the legal manufacturer or supplier.

Working Principle

The arm operates through a combination of mechanical linkages and adjustment mechanisms (such as telescoping sections, sliding tracks, or articulated joints) that allow controlled horizontal movement. Locking mechanisms secure the arm at desired positions once optimal antenna placement is achieved, ensuring stable positioning during operation. The adjustment torque required for manual positioning is 5–20 N·m, and the locking force of 500–2000 N holds the position under vibration. The arm's repeatability of ±0.05–±0.2 mm ensures consistent positioning, while the positioning accuracy of ±0.1–±0.5 mm enables precise antenna alignment. The operating temperature range of -40 to 85°C and IP54–IP65 protection ensure reliable performance in various environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum load capacity of the Horizontal Positioning Arm?

The maximum load capacity is 50–200 kg, but this is a reference range. Confirm the exact capacity for your specific model and application with the manufacturer.

What is the horizontal adjustment range?

The horizontal adjustment range is ±100–±300 mm, depending on the arm length. Verify the range for your specific arm configuration.

What is the positioning accuracy and repeatability?

Positioning accuracy is ±0.1–±0.5 mm, and repeatability is ±0.05–±0.2 mm. These values ensure precise and consistent antenna alignment, but verify for your model.

What standards apply to the degree of protection?

The degree of protection is IP54–IP65 per IEC 60529. This indicates suitability for indoor and outdoor use, but confirm the actual rating for your unit.
