The SOLUTION is the no compromise Clement Telescope Focuser. This is not a helical, crayford, or rack and pinion focuser. The patented Clement Focuser is a totally new type of precision positioning device employing non-stiction flexural bearings for precise, repeatable, ultra smooth movement on an atomic level.* Focus position is determined by the use of a single zero backlash non-rotating micrometer leadscrew. *See Alexander H Slocum, "Precision Machine Design"; 8.6, p.521 Flexural Bearings.

Easily add: Remote Focus - Autofocus - Temperature Compensation to Clement Focusers with Robo Focus. It can be added at time of purchase or in the future. You can purchase a Robo Focus mounting bracket from us and add your Robo Focus. Or, you can purchase Robo Focus from us and we will install it for no charge. If you currently own Robo Focus you will need a sprocket and timing belt to fit our focuser.
