Focuser mechs

I have an Orion EON 800mm refractor, that has had some focuser slip issues.

Looking at the focuser shows a small bar being rolled along a flat section on the tube. Sometime weight and position makes it slip, even with just a 450d an a few tubes on the end.

Is there a replacement focuser that has a solid, say rack and pinion, with very fine adjustment? and a good solid lock down mech.

Send links or thoughts, thanks in advance regards, Alan.
