A ceiling display mount comprising:
- a ceiling mount;
- a housing including a base and a cover including sidewalls forming a recess therebetween,
- wherein the cover is coupled to the base opposite the ceiling mount with the base spanning the sidewalls, and the base is positioned between the cover and the ceiling mount;
- a rotation mechanism rotatably coupling the housing to the ceiling mount, the rotation mechanism including:
- a first electric motor coupled to an opposing side of the base relative to the ceiling mount, and
- a gear train coupled to an output shaft of the first electric motor, such that the first electric motor is operable to rotate the housing relative to the ceiling mount via the gear train,
- wherein the gear train includes a driven gear fixed to the ceiling mount,
- wherein the base includes an opening through which the gear train extends to couple with the ceiling mount with the driven gear on an opposite side of the base relative to the first electric motor;
- a display mount rotatably coupled to the housing;
- and
- a tilt mechanism with a second electric motor coupled to the housing and operable to raise and lower the display mount relative to the housing,
- wherein the first electric motor extends laterally relative to the base, and
- wherein the second electric motor extends laterally relative to the base.
