Hi Eric, You raised an interesting question ...could you operate the axis with the shaft removed? I tried this recently on my GM8. .I was surprised to find the worm would jam in the ring gear with the

Well here is my N=1 for this exact thing (these photos include before and after Scott re-machined it for me after sending it in, hence the non-anodized surface).

Has anyone checked the worm-gear mesh when the Dec shaft is removed? Are there still tight spots around the axis with the shaft removed? Or is the mesh equal all around the axis? Eric

Hi Robert, Welcome to the forum! I agree with you, some abbreviations are pretty obscure. SLW stands for spring-loaded worm. I’ll see if we can start a community-maintained glossary of terms here.

R. Hancey here, I am somewhat new to this forum (in terms of commenting), and my problem is I see so many abbrevations like SLW, just what blank is it. Is there a glossary of terms available who yet

Thanks for the drawing. Slop between the brass bushing and the worm wheel bearing will only push the wheel into the worm if the shaft is snug in the needle bearings. I would guess that the design

Bod, This I think supports my idea that the down force from tightening the clutch is not uniformly applied lea

Very Interesting discussion. I just wanted to share what I think is going on more graphically. The image shows what I believe to a be a bias force that is locked into the ring gear when the clutch is

Here are the parts I used for retrofit, including Belleville worm block upgrade. Qty listed as needed per axis. Belleville washers come int 10 pack, so only 1 needed for both axis.

That's interesting, David. Would you please post the parts numbers for all the bearings you used and the source? I'll probably buy these to have on hand for my next rebuild. Your RA shaft wear looks

Okay so I've got my mount to a pretty good point. I have the SLW and tucked motors. Guiding is between 0.30 and 0.65. After working on my DEC axis and getting it all straightened out I started on my

The point, that I didn’t say very clearly, is just that there doesn’t seem to be any simple decoding of the serial #s that works for all years. -Les

Les, I agree with your assessment.? In addition, drawing from material science, you must bend the material beyond the yield point before it takes a permanent set.? Before that you are in the elastic

I’ve been following this interesting discussion, learned some things about the design of the mount. This afternoon it motivated me to tear my G11 apart — I’ve had some new clutch discs for a few

Truncation problem should be resolved now. A system update apparently caused this. Regards, -Paul

Just noting that many topics and messages in the forum seem to be duplicating and repeating. And my posts are getting cut short after writing. Somethi

Michael, Typically when using PEMPro, we use a hour or less of data to create a PEC curve which is then uploaded to the Gemini unit. Therefore we largely measure the behavior of the worm, and possibly

Yes not relevant but I’m sure we like to keep up with other mounts technically. the reason I don’t go EQ6 pro many years back was: Losmandy machine everything (not pot metal castings); Everything
