P.O. Box 571 Mt. Clemens, MI 48046-0571

Description: FOC2L Rack & Pinion Focuser
The primary feature of this focuser is the low cost for a 2" focuser. Low friction PTFE bearings guide the barrel of the focuser through the length of travel eliminating any shift in the image when focusing. This rack and pinion focuser is a great option when the ATMer is considering the design of a Newtonian type telescope or as a replacement for the standard focuser on regular production telescopes. You will enjoy the great performance of this focuser at a great value.
