Which ZWO EAF models are compatible with this Takahashi bracket?
This bracket is compatible with all ZWO EAF models. It includes a 5 mm flexible coupler for the original ZWO EAF (5V version) and a 4 mm flexible coupler for the newer ZWO EAFN and EAF Pro models.
Will the ZWO EAF Bracket fit my Takahashi FSQ-106 focuser?
Yes, the Takahashi FSQ-106 is on the official compatibility list provided by ZWO. This bracket provides a direct, bolt-on solution for attaching a ZWO EAF to that telescope's focuser without any need for modification.
I have a Sky-Watcher Esprit 120. Is this the correct bracket for my ZWO EAF?
Yes, this bracket is confirmed to be compatible with the Sky-Watcher Esprit 120, as well as the Esprit 100 and 150 models. It will allow you to mount your ZWO EAF directly to the Esprit's stock focuser.
What is the difference between the 4mm and 5mm flexible couplers?
The difference is the internal diameter, which matches the motor shaft of the EAF. The original ZWO EAF (5V) has a 5mm diameter motor shaft, while the newer, more compact ZWO EAFN and EAF Pro models use a smaller 4mm shaft. This kit includes both to ensure you have the correct part regardless of which EAF you own.
Does the ZWO EAF bracket include the screws to attach the EAF motor?
Yes, the package includes all necessary mounting hardware. This covers the screws required to attach the bracket to a compatible telescope focuser as well as the screws for mounting the ZWO EAF unit to the bracket itself.
Do I need to drill any holes in my telescope to install this ZWO EAF bracket?
No. For all the telescopes on the official compatibility list, this bracket is designed to use existing mounting holes on the focuser body. It is a direct-fit part that does not require any permanent modification to your telescope.
