The Linear Fast Reverse is an innovative telescope mount designed for astronomical imaging and manufactured in Italy by the Avalon Instruments Srl, a company with more than 30 years of experience in the field of high precision mechanics.
Marketed with the Avalon Instruments trademark, this mount ranks in the medium-size mount range with a weight capacity around 20-25 kg (44 – 55 lb), imaging and observing, respectively.
The Linear Fast Reverse project rises from the passion for astronomy and mechanics taking advantage of more than 20 years of experience and testing, lots of star parties and spending countless hours under starry skies, with any types of instrumentation. Since the great majority of the problems regards the mount, both design and manufacture have been focused on realizing a mount such to overcome technical troubles. Let’s start with the mount, which we consider the main innovation, by explaining the reasons why we chose to switch from the traditional worms and gears mechanism to a new transmission system based on pulleys and tooth belts, for both right ascension and declination.
