I think 2/3 is about right. The EQ6-R does 22kg from memory so you're just over that. However I've heard people have used 18+kg systems on the EQ6-R and had great results, so I guess as you go heavier, you have to spend more time getting your balancing absolutely spot on with appropriate bias. You previously mentioned using a clamp meter to balance, have you gone down that route yet? |
Using the clamp meter to balance by measuring the motor currents on both sides of the axis is novel idea but I wouldn’t use this method unless I had the bearings replaced with SKF or equal as my mount like most EQ6-R’s has some degree of stiction
You wouldn’t get a false reading but not exactly super accurate
