  • Baader T-2 Delrin Spacer Ring Set - 15pc

    The Baader T-2 Delrin Spacer Ring Set is the definitive solution for controlling the rotational orientation of your T-2 threaded accessories, containing 15 rings in 5 distinct thicknesses: 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, and 1.4mm. This set provides the precise shims needed to ensure cameras, filter wheels, and eyepiece clamps tighten in the exact orientation you require. With 3 rings of each size, you can make fine adjustments to position locking screws for easy access or correct the alignment of an imaging sensor.

    Fine-Tune Your T-2 Threaded Connections with 5 Thicknesses

    Every astronomer with a threaded accessory train has faced the same frustration: a camera that ends up upside down or a thumbscrew that tightens into an inaccessible position against the focuser. The Baader T-2 Delrin Spacer Ring Set solves this problem by allowing you to "clock" the final position of any T-2 component.

    By placing one of these thin, precisely manufactured Delrin rings between two T-2 threaded parts, you alter the point at which the threads fully seat. This changes the final rotational angle, letting you dial in the perfect orientation. The Delrin material is rigid enough to ensure a solid connection but soft enough that it will not mar or damage the delicate metal threads on your expensive equipment.

    • Precise Rotational Adjustments: The set includes 5 calibrated thicknesses from 0.6mm to 1.4mm, providing enough range to achieve adjustments in approximately 90° increments and solve nearly any orientation issue.
    • System-Wide Solution: With 15 rings included, you have enough spacers to correct alignment issues at multiple points in your optical train simultaneously.
    • Eliminate Inconvenience: Stop unscrewing and re-threading your gear, hoping for a better alignment. These rings provide a deterministic way to get your setup configured perfectly every time.

  • What is the primary use for the Baader T-2 Delrin Spacer Ring Set?

    The Baader T-2 Delrin Spacer Ring Set is used for "clocking," or adjusting the rotational orientation of T-2 threaded accessories. It allows you to control where a camera, filter wheel, or eyepiece holder stops when fully tightened, preventing components from ending up in an inconvenient or incorrect position.

    My ZWO camera ends up upside down attached to my Baader T-2 diagonal. Can this T-2 Delrin Spacer Ring Set fix this?

    Yes, this is exactly what the set is for. By placing one of the thin Delrin rings between the camera and the diagonal before threading them together, you can change the final tightened position. Experimenting with the 5 different thicknesses (0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm) will allow you to orient your camera correctly.

    How much do these T-2 Delrin rings change the optical path length?

    The rings add their exact thickness to the optical path length—from 0.6mm to 1.4mm. This is a very small distance and is negligible for most visual and imaging setups, having no significant impact on your ability to reach focus.

    Why are there 3 rings of each size in the Baader T-2 Delrin Spacer Ring Set?

    Having 3 rings of each of the 5 sizes provides flexibility. It allows you to use the same size spacer in multiple locations in your imaging train or to stack them for finer adjustments if a single ring doesn't provide the exact rotation you need.

    The thumbscrew on my T-2 filter drawer is blocked by my focuser. Will these Baader T-2 Delrin rings help?

    Absolutely. By adding a spacer ring between the focuser and the filter drawer, you can rotate the drawer so the thumbscrew is in an accessible position. This makes it much easier to swap filters without interference from other equipment.

    Are the Baader T-2 Delrin Spacer Rings reusable?

    Yes. They are made from Delrin, a durable and resilient engineering thermoplastic that can be used repeatedly without deforming or damaging the metal threads of your astronomy equipment.
