Our club scope is mounted on a Losmandy Titan mount. I noticed that our Dec servo motor has no identifying numbers on it, but our RA servo motor has? Losmandy SVM-HT marked on it. I know that the RA servo motor has been replaced not too long ago, but not sure about the DEC servo motor. The Dec motor MAY be original to the mount when it was purchased in 2012. If I'm reading the RA motor correctly, this is a High Torque motor. Would the Dec motor be the same, or is there no way to tell without any identifying numbers on the Dec motor? Should we change the Dec motor to an SVM-HT so they both are the same? TIA for the guidance.

Kurt you can identify your motors by shape see web .?

But in short if the motor has no cooling fins it’s the old std motor. ?But I’m general DEC doesn’t get the workload Ra does so many users keep the old motor on DEC and HT on Ra. ? ?There is no need to change that which is working fine. ? However being a club scope. ? Might be best to have a spare motor for eventualities. ? You’d want to minimise down time.?

You can post images of the motors or whatever. ?It helps identify?

Thanks Brendan! I’ll check it when I’m back out at the observatory again.?

Finally had a chance to check both servo motors. Even though the DEC motor had no markings on it, they are both identical to the SVM-HT.

Thanks for the help on this!

?thanks for update Kurt
