If you can get the ARRL Satellite Handbook, it shows using 2 TV Rotors (Radio
Shack type) for the AZ/EL, with the Elevation rotor turned on its side.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I'll check all your indicated solutions.
If will be possible I'm going to choose the TV rotors solution...in my
opinion is more inexpensive!
Thank you for now!
