Introduction to the mechanics

Fornax mechanics are designed for precise movement of medium and large telescopes.

Constructed entirely of stainless metal materials, the housing is sealed against dust and water, so

there's no need to worry about delicate and sensitive parts of the drive

and therefore a very long life without maintenance.

The mechanism is perfectly suited to the highest demands of today's astrophotography.

The basic models typically have a periodic error of +/- 5" (1 period 7.5 minutes), which can be

further improved by the use of closed-loop guiding and precise positioning encoders and control

electronics to manage them appropriately. The control electronics are not part of the mechanism.

Main types and tabular data of the mechanism

The different types of equatorial telescope mechanics (Fornax 5x, 10x, 15x) of the manufacturer

Fornax can be considered as identical in terms of end-use and operation.

The differences are in the physical dimensions, the design of the washer that holds the base of the

mechanics and the maximum permissible load resulting from the differences in size.

Detailed data are given in the annexes.

Before you start the installation, please familiarise yourself with the data and dimensions of your

mechanics, which you will find in the annex, as well as with the markings used.
