Re: AP1100 park position question
|
Thanks for the info Jack. I would be lifting an AP900 with a 5" refractor and associated guide and finder scopes, cameras and controllers. All told about 90 lb. I may at some point get a 10" or 12" CDK or a larger 160 -175mm refractor. This may push the total weight to maybe 120lb or so. Would a 1000 be good enough? Is there much of a price difference between them? Don Don Anderson

Don,
Note that the DL2 is available in three thrust capacities – 1000 Newton, 1500 Newton and 2500 Newton (220#, 333# and 555#). I am using a dual column system so I went from a 440# lifting capacity to a 1111# lifting capacity.
Yours truly,
Jack

Thanks for the info Jack. I suspected as much. I checked ebay and they don't show and DL2s right now. I will have to keep my eyes open for one.

Don,
When I purchased the original pair of lifting columns from Linak, I was over the engineering department of the local public works department in New Orleans and we did a lot of custom fabrications for all of our facilities. As such, I was able to have them sell me two 1000 Newton columns and the associated controls. Since I was already an established customer, I was able to get an upgraded set of 2500 Newton columns and associated controls last year.
I do not think Linak sells to the general public.
Yours truly,
Jack

Christopher,
The company is Linak out of Kentucky and the columns I used were the DL2 2500 Newton rated. My original ones were rated at 1000 Newtons each when used with a non AP mount. With the AP1600 and 150# of equipment on the dual column setup, I changed to the 2500 Newton thrust each – 5000 Newton total thrust.

Lymax columns. A lot cheaper to buy Lymax off of Ebay or wherever and make your own telescoping pier.
