Precise and strong gearboxes from the 3D printer for rotating devices for astrophotography

In order to be able to take astronomical photos, the earth's rotation must be compensated for. This is made possible by a special device from vhw Digitalart, which can rotate exactly 360 degrees in 24 hours. The gears and mounts for the motor and electronics were made from the tribofilament iglidur i150 using 3D printing.

Smooth running on the camera slider even with offset load

In Glidetrack's camera slider, the bearings were unevenly loaded when cameras were installed, whose centre of gravity was far outside the bearing axis. The result: tilting of the bearings and loud rattling. The solution: drylin WJRM hybrid bearings, which ensure significantly better operation. In addition, vertical and horizontal movements overhead are now also possible.
