For Sale: Goto Servo Motor/Encoder Kit . SOLD

Hi All,

Recently I aquired a SitechServo system to make my G-11 a got mount. In the kit I also recived the following items which I do not required for my project. I bought the whole kit as the seller did not wish to piece it out.

I only need to keep the Sitech controller.

The Kit was used to operate a home made Fork Equatorial mount inside a backyard observatory. They are used and in working condition.

This is what I have, the prices are what you would pay for new ones.
2 x Pittman motors @ $155 $310
2 x optional shaft encoders@$125 $250
2 x 25:1 RS gear boxes $160
Total new $720.

Also included are the cables for the encoders and motors.

I wills sell the lot for $400 plus shipping.


All you need is to get a Sitech Controller from
http://siderealtechnology.com/
Or you could also adapt these to work with a ServoCat system.

Attached are pictures of the 2x Encoders, 1x Servo Motor and 1x Gearbox. Note previous owner has machined a plate to allow mounting of gearbox to the motor. The Motor comes with its own Gear reducer 5.9:1.

Motor specs are 30v Pitmman motors. Model No 9236c534-r2 30.3vdc.
The previous owner ran these at 12v to move his fork mount with 12.5" Telescope. But these could easily move a 30" Telescope.
Encoders are 8192 tic encoders. The model is US Digital S6S-2048-B


Regards
Fahim

Loupy, These were used with Sitech and would also work with Servocat. And they would be perfect for a Dob setup, depending on your gear reduction requirements.

Price reduced. This would be perfect for someone looking to make there Dob goto. You would just need to source your own controller and handpad, which you can get for about 450USD from Sitech.

I am willing to split the package if anyone needs the Encoders these would work nicely with ArgoNavis DSC on a Dob etc. Open to offers.
