Description

ZWO has developed the revolutionary AM3 equatorial mount, which
eliminates the need for counterweights. Weighing only 4.1kg, the AM3
boasts a substantial load capacity ranging from 8kg to 13kg. ZWO
prioritizes both portability and stability, optimizing the internal
structure with strain wave gear reducer and synchronous belt
technologies, resulting in precise control and an impressive reduction
ratio of 300:1. The mount is also versatile, serving as either an
equatorial or altazimuth mount.

ZWO has taken the extra step to develop a special strain wave gear
system tailored to the demands of astrophotography, ensuring minimal
periodic error and high torque. Each mount undergoes rigorous testing
and receives an exclusive PE curve before leaving the factory to
guarantee its quality. The internal structure’s optimization with the
strain wave gear reducer and synchronous belt contributes to accurate
control and the remarkable reduction ratio of 300:1 providing high
torque and precice tracking.
