After seeing the 76 second cycle in my guiding most likely due to misaligned bearings (G11S two block worm) I decided to tighten the blocks on to the cover like a single piece worm block to get the bearings to line up properly.? For spring loading I float both bottom screws and use a spring to press the assembly away from the motor and also towards the ring gear, radially, as a result of the spring offset.? The spring has two functions, (1) to eliminate the play in the left screw hole, and (2) to provide radial pressure (worm into ring gear).? I left a nut on the screw that can be used to set the height at which the spring engages, which can be used to change the radial pressure.
The radial pressure seems to be good, it snaps back in place just right.? Slewing works like a charm.?
I'll check tonight if the guiding has improved.? One thing that may mess it up is that my steppers are connected through a flex coupler that is not quite inline and provides uneven pressure that vcould affect the assembly.? We'll find out.
