2.5" TS-Optics deluxe rack and pinion focuser
The focuser is superior to conventional Crayford focusers. The extension tube bearing and adjustment are decoupled from each other. This allows for a stiffer bearing and still a very responsive fit even at maximum payload.
The rack and pinion - rack and pinion adjustment:
A conventional Crayford focuser works with contact pressure. The weaker the pressure, the softer the extension, although there is always a risk of slipping because adjustment and storage are combined. This excerpt is completely different:
The extension tube is fixed with ball bearings. The bearing is optimized in such a way that maximum rigidity is achieved. Extension tube adjustment is achieved through a helical toothed rack. The advantage is an absolutely jerk-free fit.
The support of the extension position is also optimized. No clamping screw simply presses on the extension tube, but the position of the adjustment is fixed. This keeps the focus position at 100%.
Individual adaptation to your telescope:
We will also be happy to make an individual telescope adaptation for you. When ordering, use our special adapter Sonder125 (see recommended accessories).
