SWEDISH ANALOG TECHNOLOGIES – SAT TONEARM VIDEO

Short clip showing the effect of the Swedish Analog Technologies – SAT tonearm bearing pre-load. At first, pre-load is removed and arm has extremely low friction. On the second part, the pre-load is increased generating a higher friction which can be seen as a more damped swing movement of the arm.

Finally, once the right amount of pre-load is set, the anti-skating mechanism is checked to make sure it can overcome the friction in the bearing and accelerate the arm. The SAT arm bearings are pre-loaded to eliminate any play while still maintaining very low friction levels, as shown in this video. We hope you enjoy watching it.
