Hi all!
Latest update on this:
Today I switched gearboxes. I installed a brand new gearbox for RA in December. Now I switched back to the original. WHen examining them, I find that the brand new one rotates easier than the original. However, on the new one, there is point in each turn of the worm, where there is more resistance. On the original one, it is smooth and no perceptible differences in smoothenss during the whole turn. However, the original one turns slightly less easy - but smoothly.
So I switched back to the original, to see if that makes a difference.
But should there really be such a point with resistance on a brand new gear box?
On the other hand: this point of resistance is when I turn the knob that turns the worm. So once each revolution would mean a period of 4 mins, right? That does not fit with the 32 secs osciallation. Anyone has any idea of where to more specifically locate the source of that 32 sec oscillation? The gearboxes are closed, so I cannot open and count teeth....
Best,
Magnus
