Bearing question for ballscrew conversion

Posted by cadman@p...

As I layout my design for the ballscrew conversion, I'm wondering if I
need "Angular Contact" bearings at both ends. I'm thinking that only
one end needs to have two angular contact bearing with a clinch nut.
The other end can have a regular "single" bearing and let the lead
screw "float" here.

What does the group think about this? I have a crude ASCII art
picture below.

It would be hard to design a clinch nut at both ends of the screw. I
would need to use shims or something to get the spacing correct.
