The motor has .5 NM of torque already and the worm is a 20:1 ratio worm as it is ... I have found it has no problem on the azimuth axis Huff. I was originally thinking of gearing it yes but decided to test it direct drive. If I have issues with it fully loaded with my gear i will revisit this option. As it stands though the less complicated i can make it the better.
My concern with the Alt axis is that it is much stiffer then the az axis which even when i have it loaded up seems to have a very light touch.
problem with gearing also is it takes longer to make adjustments. I timed it at 4 mins to move a full 8.5 degrees of of travel in the az axis ablit this was at a reduced speed to avoid missing steps.
