Thread: SG9120 / SG9120B HH DiSEqC Motor

So we've been selling the
SG9120

&
SG9120B



HH motor


with metal gear for a while now. So far, I have been very happy with the unit. Much less failure rate than the older models we used to carry and much better performance from what I hear from customers..... So far, so good.

Since winter is upon us, I wanted to hear from customers again and see how the metal gear is holding up in the freezing cold. Please share with us how the motor is performing in the cold and if you have had any major issues or not. I'd really like to her from you.

Thanks for taking the time.

Any luck with these and the Azbox Elite HD usingDiSEqC?

So far the 9120B has performed well here in the cold in northern New York. It moves in temperatures that the SG2100 that it replaced had a hard time when it would work at all. Pretty much had to be above 30 degrees or the 2100 had problems. I would recommend the 9120 to anyone.

Using the SG9120 after getting 6-8 inches of snow yesterday. Lost most signal when snow started to stick (as to be expected), but it would still move at 20 degree temps. The sun came out and melted the snow off the dish's surface (even though temps never got above 32), and everything is back to normal.

I have a SG6000 (with the plastic gear) and have had no problem moving my heavy 84e for the last two seasons. Metal can only be better!

One question.
How much dish weight can this motor handle? I do not see a dish weight rating in the specs.
Thanks.

Robby, This spring I know I've got to get one though. My 2 year old SG2100 froze in 2 degree weather last week...not had that problem before. There's also a lot of play in my old 2100...so the metal gear could only be an improvement....Blind

it gets down to -20 to -30 here at times and i have not had any problems with my 39 inch dish and SG9120....my old SG2100 would get very slow in the winter and also froze solid a few times.....

I'd say 30lbs is a safe estimate which is about the weight of my 1.2M WSI dish. If you really want to push the limit you can use SG9120 with a WSI 6ft dish
