I'm unsure why Scott Losmandy hasn't put out his own version. From what I read it's not really the worm as they are already using the newer "high precision worms" but the housing that is causing the problem.  |
He does but it's not commercialised yet. The trick is to have everything inline in one solid block.
To work best the gearbox also needs to be decoupled from the base plate and mounted directly on the worm block. The oldham coupler can then be replaced by a bellow coupling. Then what I want to do is spring load the whole worm block so the meshing is more flexible and you get rid of any backlash.
