Re: Yup its the 75 second cycle
Hello Michael, Thanks for your thoughts. I guess I will just have to try a few polished bearings and see how they slide with decreasing ODs. Once I get one that easily moveable, I should put it the

Re: Yup its the 75 second cycle
Nice work John to take Stuart's idea and run with it. I don't know how much OD of the bearing should be undersize of the ID of the block, at room temp. I was only requiring that it slide under the

Re: G8 DEC axis backlash, fixing, questions
Very deep writeup, Alan...you innovated a number of things to elucidate the issues. (Good comments by Henk about "stuttering" also but I have a suggestion for that below). Thanks for describing your

Re: Duda sobre g11.
David, With many members on this forum, the mount they choose for larger SCTs, like 11" or 14", is the Titan mount. For a Newtonian design, you have a large optical tube with large external

About the asymmetry that you mentioned where the worm is lifted going one way and pulled in going the other way:? I noticed with my system that the weight of the focuser with imager and guide scope

G8 DEC axis backlash, fixing, questions
Hello folks, I have one of the new GM811 with the "spring-loaded" worms and tucked motors.? In this thread I will mention some of the testing I did and a few things I learned about backlash in this

Re: DIY spring loaded worms v3
That was with "DIY spring loaded worms v2" where only the outer block was floating so in the case of radial motion the inner block bearing would become misaligned.? My thinking (for v3) was that by

Re: DIY spring loaded worms v3
Oh, ok.? It's because you wrote this earlier: "Also, my outer block bearings should realign themselves because mine float and are pressed by a tangential spring.? So I think the inner block needs

Re: DIY spring loaded worms v3
The only self-alignment of the worm assembly is in the gear plane, radially towards the axis.? There is no tilt alignment.? If by tilt you mean a vertical motion in the direction of the gear axis,

Re: Yup its the 75 second cycle
Yes - purposely set the blocks so that there is too much axial play in the worm. Bias east heavy to test the right block, west heavy to test the left block
