product description
Custom desing from Baader Planetarium:
The axis knobes of the GM1000 mount were constructed in a way so they can’t be hand-tightened with brute force. This design feature leads some users to the fact that the RA or DEC axis of the mount can not be tightened sufficiently. If you had problems to open or tighten the RA / DEC axis knobs (on cold nights with gloves this is difficult), we now have the solution for you: Baader has developed a RA/DEC-torque wrench for GM 1000 HPS, with which the knob can be operated easily. The wrench is produced on their 3D printers.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
this wrench is called RA / DEC torque wrench – because it is NOT a flat spanner for the bottom plate. You should never tighten “until the blood runs out” – for that the wrench is NOT suitable. This wrench is made to enable a tightening/opening of the axis knobes – with sensitivity – so that they can be operated more easily than with bare fingers, but not as tight as with a heavy spanner. Note the above animation and, in particular, the position of the thumb in the two recessed grips.
Screen 1: starting position – tighten the axis knob by hand
Screen 2: attach Baader RA / DEC torque wrench properly
Screen 3: light clutch preload – with finger in the front grip and pointer deflection on the first index tooth from the center
Screen 4: maximum preload – with the finger in the rear grip and with maximum pointer deflection (the pointer touches very lightly the inside of the wrench)
Screen 5: Please DO NOT overtighten!
