Pin Drive System
At the heart of all our turntables is the pin drive system. Patented by Weizhong, it’s a technically superior drive system, without the problems that are typically associated with friction drive systems.
Undoubtedly the best method to drive a turntable; Drive systems based on friction, pinch wheels or similar drive arrangements are antiquated. The pin drive system provides accurate and consistent torque without the maintenance issues associated with traditional, friction-drive turntables.
Advantages of the pin gear drive system:
• Elimination of friction wheel slip
• Elimination of periodic friction wheel spring adjustments. Springs fade over time.
• Ability to maintain precision rotational/angular accuracy and tracking. This is particularly important with antenna testing turntables and in other uses where backlash reduction or elimination is critical.
• Fewer moving parts to maintain.
Remote Operation
All our turntables come equipped with a commercial-quality remote system manufactured by TeleRadio of Sweden.
Power & Drive Mechanism
All our turntables come with a commercial-quality drive system manufactured by Nord of Germany. A gear reduction right angle gearbox, coupled with a totally sealed A/C or servo industrial motor.
Wheel Assemblies
Our wheel assemblies are made by Carousel USA and utilize high quality, completely sealed bearings made by Timken or ZKL. Built for a lifetime of maintenance free service, they’re cast in steel, precision machined, utilize high quality dual bearing assemblies, and are fitted with high strength 90A (Shore A) polyurethane covering on our lighter weight capacity turntables. The polyurethane covering is used as a noise reduction feature, and is partially responsible for our turntables being labeled as some of the quietest available. For our heaviest duty turntables, we use solid steel wheel assemblies, where noise is typically less of a concern.
Limited Warranty
We offer a 5 year, limited warranty on most turntable products.
Optional Features
Top Surface Options

- Aluminum (6061 T-6), Diamond Tread or Smooth
- Carbon Steel, Diamond Tread or Smooth
- Stainless Steel, Diamond Tread or Smooth
- Cabinet Grade Plywood (for application of wood flooring or other finish), Vinyl Flooring, Reclaimed Wood, Hardwood Flooring
- Concrete, colored concrete, polished concrete, pebbled concrete, asphalt
- Tile, Pavers, or Bedliner
- Epoxy Coating over Surface Material
Motion Control Systems
Commonly supplied with web photography installations, and antenna testing installations, but other applications exist. Our standard motion control packages are MC-1 and MC-2, and include powerful html controllable software that was created specifically for web QuickTime VR photography.
