Motor coupler for precise connection for declination
The torsionally flexible couplings supplied as standard with older EQ8 mounts cause a delay in the declination correction, which can no longer be compensated for at higher loads:
When you autoguide a star in DEC in one direction, the system will send several commands in a row, gradually creating greater tension on the elastic coupler.
At first, it won´t turn because the worm screw rubs on the crown, and your autoguiding system will continue to send guiging orders in the same direction (because no move is seen).
Then suddenly, as the effort becomes too high, the coupler "wins" and catches up with all the previous movements requested, creating a huge over-guiding peak.
As a result, it´s impossible to guide an old-generation EQ8 correctly with the original coupler, as soon as the load is high and the worm has torque.

This coupling, on the other hand, is torsionally rigid, which prevents delays during correction with subsequent overcorrection.
