AstroSystems Telescope Pivot Kit

This is one of the key components in making a large Dobsonian move smoothly and easily in azimuth; it's ease and smoothness of action are even more crucial when the telescope is pointed near the zenith.

Each kit contains a 1/2" x 2.5" stainless bolt, delrin thrust bushing, stainless steel locknut assembly and full instructions. The 1.75" Teflon center pad is shimmed to take part of the load off the azimuth pads, giving the telescope excellent azimuth movement. The Pivot bolt is pre-drilled to accept optional encoders for accessories such as digital setting circles! Weight 1 lb.
