Takahashi Epsilon E160ED/E130 Focuser Bracket for Pegasus/ZWO Focus Motor

thingiverse

*July 2021 Update* Moved hole locations inward to fit ZWO focus motor bracket as suggested by one user. This ZWO prototype is untested. Please leave comment if it needs a tweak. Updated description based on a maker's feedback. The bracket appears to work on the 130, and also with the ZWO EAF. The bracket replaces the small plastic pinion housing dust cover of the stock focuser, and creates a stable mounting solution for the Pegasus focus motor and stock mounting bracket. there are four threaded M4 holes for the metal Pegasus bracket, and a central through-hole for mounting the entire assembly to the stock pinion cover. The bracket is designed with the sole purpose of reducing the chance of torque flexure when the motor is in operation. **You MUST ensure your central bolt length is not too long or it will drive into the pinion gear and could damage your focuser!!** Use large fender washers to give your bolts a better grip and distribute the force. This setup is currently driving a PL16803 and CFW 5-7 filter wheel. The total payload with adapters is just over 10 pounds.
