MVG - Rotary Positioners - Pylons

Pylons are stationary metal Device Under Test support structures designed to minimize measurement signal backscattering.

Their shapes, sizes, and construction specifications are determined by requirements such as maximum DUT size, its mechanical properties, and minimum rotator size.

Key Features

Ogive ratio: 1:4 standard, 1:6 and 1:7 available for most models 

Pylons for multiple applications (Antenna measurement) 

Height: standard from 3 to 70 feet (1 to 21 meters), or custom order 

Interchangeable tips (Optional) 

Three types of rotator heads: two AZ/EL and one AZ only 

Load capacity: From 500 - 80,000 lbs. 

Sharp edges: 0.004 - 0.008 inch 

Surface finish – 63 microinch 

Optimal power-to volume ratio
