Description

The QTX rectangle disco ball motor is a heavy-duty overhead drive unit designed to rotate professional mirror balls up to 50kg in weight. The motor runs on 230V UK mains at 6W, turning at 0.8 revolutions per minute to create the slow, sweeping light reflections characteristic of large mirror ball installations. The rectangular metal housing measures 310 x 200 x 210mm and weighs 4.58kg, providing a stable anchor point for the suspended mirror ball below.

Designed for installation in entertainment venues, nightclubs, event spaces and large function rooms where ceiling heights allow mirror balls of 40cm diameter or larger, the motor mounts to structural ceiling joists or steel beams via the pre-drilled fixing holes on the top plate. The drive belt connects to the mirror ball's own motor attachment point (typically a pulley ring fitted to the top of the ball), and the belt tension can be adjusted by repositioning the internal motor within the housing to ensure consistent rotation without slipping or over-tightening.

The metal casing protects the internal motor and gearing from dust and impact during installation and operation. An IEC socket on the rear of the housing accepts a standard UK IEC mains cable (sold separately), allowing the motor to be installed first and powered later without needing to thread cable through the mounting bracket. The central eyebolt and swivel attachment point below the motor housing provides a secure fixing for the mirror ball's suspension cable, keeping the ball centred under the motor during rotation.

This is the UK 230V 50Hz version of the QTX rectangle motor. A separate 110V version exists for site installations requiring reduced-voltage equipment, but this model is intended for standard UK commercial and domestic electrical installations where 230V mains is the norm.

Frequently Asked

What size mirror balls can this motor handle?

The motor is rated for mirror balls up to 50kg. This typically covers balls from 40cm to 75cm diameter, depending on the construction and weight of the individual ball. Smaller balls under 30cm will also work but may rotate faster than intended due to lower weight.

How is the motor mounted?

The top plate has pre-drilled fixing holes for bolting directly to ceiling joists, steel beams or a mounting truss. The motor must be fixed to a structural element capable of supporting the combined 54.58kg load (motor + 50kg ball). Plasterboard ceilings or suspended ceiling tiles are not suitable without additional structural reinforcement.

Does it come with a power cable?

No. The motor has an IEC socket on the rear, which accepts a standard UK IEC mains cable (same style as used on desktop computers and monitors). This allows the cable to be connected after the motor is mounted, rather than threading it through the mounting bracket during installation.

Can the rotation speed be adjusted?

No. The motor runs at a fixed 0.8 rpm when powered. The belt tension can be adjusted by repositioning the internal motor within the housing, but this affects torque and slip resistance, not rotation speed.
