Why buy this Rail Kit?



Some consider this to be an expensive option, however, it's cheaper than the EQ6 Wedge. You also don't need to buy hardened Latitude bolts at £60 to £80 (which may strip the thread if overloaded)!

Our Rail Kits are designed to be used with the standard bolts.


This is the revolutionary solution to an age old problem with EQ6's - Bent Latitude bolts – built on years of customer feedback, with a much simpler, more direct and precise method of adjustment. Because of its efficient and simple design, the EQ6 Rail is also easily fitted and very cost effective.

Please note it will NOT work with 'bent' bolts.

We have been fittting them on our acclaimed StellarDrive 6, and to other EQ6's since March 2017 without any issues and have refined the design further which now creates this kit.


It will also fit the Orion USA Atlas EQ mount too. A HEQ5 version is now available.

Q) How does it work?


A) Instead of the tip of the bolt hitting the metal tab in the mount at an increasingly acute angle with rising latitude (and bending), theres a large curved surface which rises on the sloping base, to always maintain the optimal contact angle with the tab. The other bolt just locks the adjustment, as normal.

The result is a direct transfer of the adjusting force across the face of the tab, instead of at a point, and the adjusting bolt is supported at two places, so doesn't need to deal with any bending forces.

Since the load is no longer on the point of the bolt, so not only is the load spread across the front surface of the round slider block, there is no damage to the casting when under load. This helps provide a smoother operation.

Backlash is minimal as all points of contact are loaded and forces are now in one plane. The two alloy caps complete look, and can be taken off again without damage to the mount.

Range of operation is approximately 15 – 75 degrees in Latitude

 

The EQ6Rail Kit Contains:

  • 1 x Rail Wedge Base
  • 1 x Slider Block
  • SORRY CAPS OUT OF STOCK AT PRESENT - 2 x Black Darkframe Alloy engraved caps (one indexed for left side) with Adhesive Strips (3M Automotive Tape)

  • Use a Flat working surface as its easier to remove the base when the mount isn't on the tripod
