Does anyone know where I buy just rolled ball screw by the length and ball nuts with a catalogue not written in Martian.
Has anyone thought of just using the generic 5/8 rolled ball screw? It comes
in up to 12 ft lengths and you can get the double preloaded ball nuts, make
up a thrust bearing plate that would anchor to the carriage and the ball nut
would be driven by the motor instead of the motor driving the screw. The
ends of the screw would be mounted under tension thus eliminating the
problem of lead screw whip.
