hi

is this motor suitable for Gibertini dish size 150cm?
does it move the dish from 180 degrees east to 180 degrees west?

Yes it will do but you may have to do some modifications to the mount or even fabricate your own as the adaptor plate that comes with the motor is made for the Channel master 1.2m dish

I have one of these on my 1.2 channel master, I have also used it on a 1.5 Irete dish. It drove it no problem.

If you do buy one I suggest adding locking washers to every bolt inside because they don't have them as standard and over time all will work lose. Do it before you install the motor because in a few months time the top bracket that is forced onto the main shaft will be too tight and corroded to remove which makes it impossible to remove the upper casing.

I would advise you to add an additional elevation support bolt on the other side, you can use the internal motor fixing bolts to hold it in place. Without it there is too much rotational stress on the casing when it is windy and it will weaken the low grade aluminium casing.
