DX Engineering Lightning Rod Mast Mounts
The use of DX Engineering Lightning Rod Mast Mounts could protect your tower, antennas and station equipment from disastrous lightning damage. DX Engineering Lightning Rod Mast Mounts are 1/8 in. heavy-duty stainless steel clamps that will long outlast your steel tower. Their optional bolts (choose DXE-LRMM-FAST by combined mast and lightning rod diameters) are also high-quality stainless steel. Together, they are extremely durable clamps to keep your lightning rod in place. Lightning searches out the path of least resistance to ground. If that path is your tower, rotator and rotor bearings, antennas and coax, or the ground and electrical connections to your rigs, then that's where it will go. Providing a better path (one with very little resistance) is the key to keeping lightning outside the shack and limiting damage. When used with proper tower grounding, a heavy rotor-bearing bypass cable and installed coaxial surge protectors, a lightning rod above your antennas may save the day. Don't ignore proper grounding and lightning protection! Make a list of all the items you need to upgrade your station's lightning defense. Make sure a mast mounted lightning rod and DX Engineering Lightning Rod Mast Mounts are added to your list.

DX Engineering Bearing Bypass Ground Kits
DX Engineering Bearing Bypass Grounding Kits are designed to provide a low-resistance parallel path for lightning; protecting your valuable thrust and rotator bearings. Never mind the equipment replacement cost, one of these could save you a tower climb! These kits attach to your mast, bypass your thrust bearing, and then connect directly to your tower leg. Their 1AWG copper cable shunts high currents around the thrust bearing, preventing damage to bearings and races. By carrying heavy currents directly to the tower leg, you will also protect your rotator motor bearings at the bottom of the mast- another big expense. These kits come complete with clamps, bolts, and cable with ring lugs already installed. Protect the important mechanical and electrical items atop your tower!

DX Engineering Bearing Bypass Cables
DX Engineering Bearing Bypass Cables are heavy-duty cables intended for use with DX Engineering Bearing Bypass Grounding Kits. These cables are exactly the same quality as supplied with our Bearing Bypass kits. They have hundreds of thin copper strands (like welding cable) that ensure maximum flexibility. Our Bearing Bypass cables are size 1 AWG copper. The jacket material is Ethylene-Propylene-Rubber (EPR) insulation; which is both physically tough and UV resistant. Cable length is 10 feet and are supplied with 1/4 and 3/8 in. ring lugs attached. Whether you are replacing your original cable or using one in another application, these DX Engineering Bearing Bypass Cables are delivered ready to go!

DX Engineering Mastlock Tower Accessory
The DX Engineering Mastlock Tower Accessory is very helpful tool for use on ROHN and Amerite Towers in the 25, 45 and 55 series. Using this hardware combination of DX Engineering V-Bolts and our specially drilled aluminum plate, you'll be able to lock your 2 to 3 in. tower mast into position. This tool keeps the mast slipping downward, allowing rotator removal for service, and it prevents the mast from turning during tower or antenna maintenance. The purchase and use of two DXE-MASTLOCK assemblies is suggested for locking a top-heavy mast into the center of the tower. This is especially helpful for heavily loaded masts that have most of their length above the top of the tower. Without much mast below the top, there is a lot of torque and side force trying to push the mast askew. Two of the DXE-MASTLOCK will keep that mast right in place while work is done on the mast or rotator. This accessory will work on mast tube, as well as flat top towers with thrust bearings—and can prevent accidental damage to the tower and accessories during maintenance. The DXE-MASTLOCK plate is made from 0.250 in. thick 6061-T6 aluminum. It comes with the proven high-quality DX Engineering V-saddle clamps, sized for 2 to 3 in. masts and tower legs from 1.250 to 1.500 in.. NOTE: As with all stainless steel hardware, a good quality anti-seize, such as Jet-Lube SS-30 (part number JTL-12555), must be used to avoid galling. When installing the DXE-MASTLOCK, be sure to tighten all bolts evenly.

TBX Tower Mast Hardware Kits
TBX Tower Mast Hardware Kits provide mounting options for masts of 1.250 in. diameters. These high-quality mast hardware kits are made of weather-resistant materials for durability and long life. The MK2 clamp assembly is normally used with section 1 as the top section. The TC heavy-duty mast clamp flange is normally used with section 2 or 3 as the top section. Holes are provided on all top plates and rotor plates, however, to accommodate either one. If you need to replace lost, stolen, or damaged mast hardware, or perhaps to do an upgrade, then one of these TBX Tower Mast Hardware Kits, now available from DX Engineering, will get your project back off the ground!
