iOptron HAZ130 Alt-AZ Strain Wave Gear Drive Mount

Introducing the iOptron HAZ130 Alt-Az mount with dual strain wave gear drives. The HAZ130 is our highest capacity SWG mount to date and is designed to accommodate instruments as large as our 20” F/8 RC truss OTA (carries a payload up to 132lbs)! The mount offers full Go To pointing and Alt-Az tracking utilizing its 8411 hand set with OLED display or by independent computer control.

The all metal CNC machined fork mount design offers optimal stability for tracking and imaging. Two adjustable Losmandy-style saddles accommodate the attachment of various-sized instruments. The SWG drive system is perfect for unbalanced payloads and includes a unique friction brake to stop movement during a planned or unplanned power interruption safely. The wide stance adjustable base features a high-precision leveling indicator to ensure the highest level of precision in Go To pointing accuracy. Speaking of precision, the SWG gear system is driven by quiet, reliable stepper motors.

Other features include, mounting holes for NUC computers as well as other devices, built-in GPS, USB communication ports, 180° altitude and 360°azimuth movement ranges, low power consumption and more.

Not only is the HAZ130 a capable tool for both visual astronomy and imaging, it is designed to work with the latest satellite tracking software making it an excellent antenna platform for radio communication enthusiasts.
