    Today i´ve noticed that one of mine shoulder mounted Frex´s SCN6 (150mm / 20kg) does not hold the seat when i sit on it when everything turned off:(
    It moves back.. I can even move it with the hand. The second one hold himself properly. It also seems that the "moving" one is little slower that second one:(
    Is that normal or should i begin to worry?:(

    the worm drive is worn and your stepper motor is also had enough... the sound your hearing could be the little pin in the very top of the shaft.. Here at simworx we strip and rebuild brand new scn5 -6 we drill and tap the hole where the pin was and screw a bolt into it..the whole shaft can pull out if the pin is worn.. id be ordering a back up..
