Re: Spring Loaded Worm - Is this normal?


 

HI folks, I've been reading this thread with interest having performed the same operation lately myself.

I'm wondering exactly what the role is of the two screws that pull the blocks perpendicular to the ring gear. ?When should they be adjusted, and how tight should they be? ?It seems from my efforts that they need to be reasonably tight to prevent backlash, but I do worry about reducing the mobility of the SLW.

Finally, I don't know if this might be helpful for others, but I find that my system makes three different tones (I have a recent build 2020). ?One is a fairly atonal gear noise when things aren't tight enough, another is a medium-high pitched humming tone when things are just right (to my perception anyway) and a third is a warbling high pitched tone when things get too tight. ?Unfortunately I haven't been able to create the middle option consistently across the rotation of RA so I end up with a bit of #1 and #2. ?Brian I'd be curious whether this matches your experience and any recommendations.

Thanks
