Product information
WARPDRIVE WD-17 Mount - Smaller, Same Servo Direct Drive
Servo motors with directly connecting to Strain Wave Gear. This is a true “Harmonic Drive” mount exclude any traditional belt/planetary gearbox.
No worry of belt aging anymore with our mounts. Powerful servo motors with lowest system backlash structure for consistently tracking.
WD-17 can easily handle a 13kg load without counterweight. Same smooth polar adjustment design based on High-load WD-20.
Built in GPS & Electronic Homing
Built in GPS module for closely working with NINA, and other controller at field operation.
Coordinates memory chip allows Electronic Homing feature during power cycles. Home coordinates will be stored even power off and back soon on your next operation.
