Peterson Engineering - Mount Clutches

EZ Clutch

This upgrade kit modifies the declination clutch system on Meade RCX400, LX200GPS, LX200R and LX90  families
of telescopes. When installed, lightly tightening the clutch knob with two fingers is all that is required to
hold even the most unbalanced scope firmly in position.  You’ll no longer have to turn the declination knob
uncomfortably tight or risk having your knob popping off as you tighten it to it’s breaking point.  With the
EZ Clutch you have enough ”feel” that can easily dial in enough declination tightness to hold the optical
tube firmly but still allow the drive to slip if  you hit an end stop or an obstruction.
