These magnets are strong little bugger. This can be overcome by placeing the magnets on the backside of the capstan with the magnets attracting one another in alternate fashion with forward of the capstan with the magnets in opposition. It may also be that useing smaller magnets and allowing for closer placement might work as well. Any other suggestions ?? I was told today by one supplier that using cylinder magnets of smaller dimension might do the trick as well as the magnetic field is more centered and cylinders are a bit stronger then rings. I will try and work out the leverages involved on for putting them in the backside, but initial DW/UW experiements show that the same kind of results can be obtained. Course that raises the need to find a convienient regulating scheme for those magnets aft of the capstan :) Not a biggie. Cheers RicB -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
