RA Axis: one of two clutches done
Made one of the fixed pressure plate clutches on the weekend
for the RA axis.
This one is fixed to the RA shaft with several grub screws and has
a cork insert made from an old placemat. The same as I did with
the DEC axis. This idea, again , was from a solution suggested by
Dave G.
Pic 1 shows the clutch plate and cork insert separately.
Note the rebate the cork sits in on the pressure plate.
Pic 2 shows how it sits in this rebate.
Pic 3 shows it resting on the face of the worm gear.Cork trapped
between.
I have to make a second clutch identical to this one for
the other face now but with pressure adjustment screws.
