Solar Wheel Rotator 1/2RPM
Active Gate
Please note: this is a latest generation OPTI Active Gate rotator. It can also be used on older Solar projectors (which have 12V side outlets) using the optional Adapter Cable which is not included.
Want variable speed?
You may prefer the Variable Speed/Direction Wheel Rotator or the Dual Wheel Rotator with variable speed/direction + supports both 6" and 9" MAX effect wheels!
Not suitable for Aura
This item is NOT compatible with the OPTI Aura projector.
This Wheel Rotator fits to an OPTI Solar projector and rotates a 6" effect wheel at a constant speed of 1/2RPM (one revolution every 2 minutes). Note that you'll also need a connecting cable if you have an older Solar projector.
For most purposes we recommend choosing the Variable Speed/Direction Rotator instead of this fixed speed rotator. This is especially true for Liquid wheels which need minor adjustments to speed to get the best effect.
Wheel Rotators come with a magnetic wheel adaptor fitted as standard. If you're using old style 'bossed' wheels you can simply remove the magnetic adaptor using the included Allen key.
Please note: The OPTI magnetic adapter now includes a 'pin' on the front which goes into the hole on the magnet of current OPTI wheels. The pin is intended to reduce slippage when running liquid wheels which can occur as the oils moves and changes the centre of gravity.
If you are using old wheels or non-OPTI wheels without the hole in the magnet, you'll need to remove the pin by pulling it out firmly with pliers or pushing it through from behind using a narrow implement such as a nail and a tap from a hammer.
