Aim
Controls is pleased to offer the EQ-4 alt/az
mount. It can handle up to 20" tube assemblies
and 200 lbs. with true precision.
The mount is made from precision machined aluminum that
is given a hard anodized, black finish. The RA
(or AZ) portion has a 10,000 lbs. bearing assembly.
[This assembly may be purchased separately.] The
fork arms (DEC or ALT) are made to order for different
size loads, and popular sizes will become standard inventory
items. The fork arms are assembled using the most
advanced technology to achieve extroardinary accuracy
in alignment, orthogonality, and strength. Flexure
is eliminated for practical purposes. Each
axis has a 9 inch AGMA 12 "AA" precision grade worm
gear with spring loaded stainless steel worm assemblies.
These are the finest worm gears available and are made
by Aim Controls with its proprietary gear cutting process.
Both RA and DEC axes use 60mm
solid steel shafts Ra uses 60mm tapered roller bearings
while DEC uses 60mm ball bearing assemblies. This mount
can handle hundreds of pounds of weight. The fork
arms can be removed for shipping or carrying.
The weight of the Alt (arms) varies based on configuration,
but 15 to 70 pounds is typical. The approximate weight
of the AZ portion is 35 pounds.

the fork and cradle size for a particular optical assembly.
