I was assembling it asi 174MM cooled- 1-2mm male to male spacer-1 1/4 in. EFW mini 5/1 1/4 Meade lrgb imaging filters t2-25a adapter- televue 1072 t ring - Paracorr t2 lens assembly and put it together and I've got stiction {not good}. I've got to get this figured out sometime soon.

In all my years I don't think I ever read a thread that I had absolutely no idea what is being talked about.

This should be interesting.

Well you have me stumped. I live in San Francisco and have some comprehension of male to male spacing, but you have me completely flummoxed with this post!

Although I have heard that stiction can be painful, regardless of the genders involved!

The magic word is Meade; it's an Astrophotography thing. And, stic·tion - the friction that tends to prevent stationary surfaces from being set in motion.

You did NOT ask my permission before you COPIED my set-up!!!
Just for that, I won't tell you how I solved my stiction Problem!!!

Well I guess I got one part of it right! I also assume that a generous serving of mead would do nothing to help!

Oh come on Sharpie, at least tell us the color of the pill that you used!

Or does the OP just need some KY jelly?

I had the same problem but solved it by maximizing the AXL assembly parameters with a flexion coupling on 642 wiring gimbel rotation sensor. Of course I had to rotate the fraction master first, but that’s a given.

Maybe he's talking about the alcoholic Mead instead and just left an "e" on the end for confusion sake which would explain that string of dipsomaniac characters that was written.

Hey, who are you calling dipsomaniac characters?

Looking at his previous posts, I'll bet this was meant for the Astronomical Photography Forum. I'm guessing they would know what he is talking about.

I remember coefficient of static friction from university physics. You're saying the static friction you have now is not good. You might have to have a washer in between that would reduce the friction. There's a type of plastic called ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). It has kind of a slippery quality. It's often used for things like chain guides and wear plates. Nylon would be good also. Amazon and MSC Industrial are good places to order material like that. If you get the material, I can make the parts from it that are needed.

Product description
The opaque white UHMW sheet has a standard tolerance and meets American Society for Testing and Materials ASTM D4020 specifications. UHMW (ultra high molecular weight) polyethylene is an impact-, chemical-, and moisture-resistant plastic that has excellent abrasion resistance and a low-friction surface. UHMW is more rigid than LDPE and HDPE, and has better abrasion resistance than PTFE.

Are we on the correct Forum??? The Mechanical Engineering blog? Assembly Talk?
