PLUS Spacers

Overview

Like all the other elements of the PLUS series, these PLUS Spacers are made with high mechanical precision (built with CNC machines from aluminum block) and specially designed to enable you to easily install other mechanical elements such as support rings, plates or dovetail clamps.

Description

When we install many instruments (for example telescope with guide scope in parallel) on the mount, it can happen that they are too close together, and that some element touches the others. That's why PrimaLuce created the PLUS 10mm, 20mm, and 30mm spacers that can be fixed between two mechanical elements (such as a plate and the support rings), keeping the functionality of the PLUS system. In fact they have four holes, with 20mm separation to fix PLUS Vixen dovetail bars and guide rings and 55mm for PLUS Losmandy dovetail bars. The PLUS spacers have holes to fix the other elements always with M6 screws but of greater length (25mm, 35mm, or 45mm depending on spacer size) which are provided in the package (4 screws). 

In the image above, the 10mm PLUS spacers have been installed between a PLUS Losmandy dovetail bar and PLUS support rings.

The PLUS Spacers are part of the PLUS (Prima Luce Universal System) which includes many guide rings, support rings, plates, adapters, and dovetail clamps to offer you the maximum freedom to build your mechanical system of support, depending on the application that you want to achieve. Indeed, all the PLUS elements have threaded holes, holes and slots suitable for connecting elements, always with maximum rigidity and comfort. Prima Luce designed many element for this purpose, including the PLUS Spacers. 

Each component of the PLUS system is made of aluminum blocks that are high precision CNC machined. The aluminum is then sandblasted to achieve a very smooth surface finish and is anodized (hard anodizing) to increase the hardness of the material and protect it from oxidation.
