Hi Mark, A corollary is that a working stalled motor is better than a cooked motor that was forced to overcome a stall :) Higher voltage helps overcome rotational inertia at the start of a slew or at

A moving motor, even at higher voltage, is better than a stalled motor at lower voltage.? This group is full of stories concerning people experiencing stalls at 12V. Losmandy provides a 15V supply

I thought I read here that the older mounts had the plastic gear boxes, but new ones are metal.

Don't forget that the spring screw also functions as an out travel limit because when screwed all the way in until it stops, it bottoms on the right hand worm block post inside the base plate.? When

Nothing wrong at all with plastic or delrin gears. ?You can replace your GB with a Mckennan 25:1 GB that has all metal gears but the question is why? You also need to do some fiddling an change the

I may be mistaken but I thought there was at least a delrin gear in the reduction gearbox.. I'm sure Paul or someone else can correct me. One of these days I'll pop open an old damaged one and know

There seems to be a bit of confusion regarding the SLW Block Adjustment. Scott Losmandy does have a very helpful video here on YouTube ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmcEYhat7jE ) that illustrates

Where are these plastic gears? I had the impression they were all metal based on the sound and the notion they would be metal for durability. Sent from my Verizon, Samsung Galaxy smartphone Get

The spring screw is tightened all the way down and then backed off 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn to allow maximum spring pressure while also allowing for some spring travel. If you just tightened the spring

Used my tri-bhatinov mask to get a decent collimation.? I got to the point where I had a hard time making a small enough adjustment to get 'perfect' and kept overshooting.? So I finally called it

I have the latest version. I was not aware you could tweak the motor steps. There seems to be no wiggle room (pun intended) in the adjustment of the screw. What is further confusing is the springs

I have a 2005 g11 with the mini controller. The mini monitors current monitor is based on the newer high torque motors so my older motors would have various warnings, like tr heavy and stall, as its

Can't say. Maybe after the motor slowed down, it was able to overcome the friction, and continued despite the stall? Just guessing.

So would I, why did it continue to run? It said Stall on both the Web Page Server HC and the actual HC.

I would rather have the motor stall than risk overheating, but that's just me.

I understand this, but there is a gray area I am in here, a cause and effect inversion of sorts. I was surprised this happened because I adjust my spring frequently, just for practice's sake. I even

FWIW, I would caution against increasing voltage to solve a stall that is accompanied by a warm motor. A higher voltage may help the motor overpower excessive friction or imbalance, but will also put

Hi Mark, thanks for the thoughtful response. I understand all that you have said. I am an electrician with a degree in electronics, so I understand quite a bit about the subject. I have read here that

VictoryPete: With the greatest respect, most people overtighten their worm mesh in my experience in an attempt to totally eliminate backlash. This happens even more often with DEC. In addition, worm

I’m a new G11G owner; new to the Losmandy Universe. The first few times I had my Win10 machine connect to the Gemini, no problem. Then for the next 2 or 3 attempts I had the same issue you describe.
