Worm Shroud Seal kit for Skywatcher EQ8

Worm Shroud Seal kit for Skywatcher EQ8

This part replaces the black anodised aluminium seal carrier plate and the PE foam weatherstrip seal it carries. The plate mounts the same way as the OEM plate but is profiled to support a soft felt seal which is lightly pressed against the same running surface as the OEM seal. The ID of the seal is visible from the exterior. The seal is saturated with grease by the installer during the installation process.

Worm Shroud Seal kit for Skywatcher EQ8 Expanded Description

Grease impregnated felt seal technology though not commonly seen today has a legacy of two centuries of use for low pressure sealing and dirt exclusion. It is a simple, low friction, robust solution to the problem of moisture, insects and particulate material entering the worm wheel shroud and contaminating the worm wheel and/or the ‘Freedom-Find’ encoder.
