Federal Signal 500 Rotator

Sat Jan 02, 2021 12:15 am

Hello

I'm curious as how the 500's rotator works, I'm pretty sure it's off a gearbox from the chopper motor, but that could be entirely wrong. If anyone knows, or has a photo, that would be appreciated!

You should message Cruz (stormsetter?) on here, I’m almost positive he has pictures of the internals of a 500. I’m sure Jeb (holler) has some too.

Yes, 500’s use a gearbox although they are belt driven.
