The Ekdahl FAR - Bowing jack: Difference between revisions

Line 8:

The ''bowing jack'' holds the ''bowing motor'' which in turn has a ''wheel holder'' attached to its shaft. It's this ''wheel holder'' that ultimately holds the ''bowing wheel'' that actually creates sounds by rubbing against the string.

The ''wheel holder'' is painted half black and half white, this is because underneath it is a ''reflection sensor'' which is responsible for measuring the speed of the ''bowing motor'' which is <u>crucial</u> ~~in order~~ for the motor to bow the right frequencies. The Ekdahl FAR comes with a ''bow cover'', the reason to use this cover is not only to protect the ''bowing jack'' but also to block out ambient light since strong light can interfere with the ''reflection sensor''.

The entire ''bowing jack'' is riding on an ''axle bolt'' so that it can move up and down. Below the ''bowing jack'' to the side is the ''pressure motor'', this has a ''corkscrew'' attached to its output shaft which is responsible for pushing the ''bowing jack'' up and down. Through this mechanism the ''bowing wheel'' can be moved ~4mm / 3/16" up and down by sending the instruments the various ''pressure''-commands.
