    Ball Screw Bearings

    I was curious as to where one can get some precision Ball Bearings in the .125 range...
    Steel and Ceramic suppliers would be nice
    Thanks

    Not a Brand Name...So, I figure this MFG used not so quality components and don't need to go back to them to get more inferior bearings, plus trying to communicate with China can be frustrating to say the least...I feel that some of the concern I have can be cleared up with a better component and wish to acquire some superior name bearings and replace these...

    Hi,
    what are you trying to replace, just some balls or the whole bearing?

    Hi,
    to be honest I don't think the manufacturer is going to make a difference.

    Just because you put Rolls Royce sparkplugs in your Mini does not make it a Rolls Royce.

    This is true but to get the Mini running better I can upgrade the sparkplugs...
    Ever since the ball Screws were new after I greased them there was a mass amount of Black that showed up in the grease and every time I grease the deflector there is an excessive amount of black compromising the grease...I know its metallic...Thats all it can be...I have taken the deflector off the screw and cleaned all the balls and deflector, and the balls look horrible, deflector is still got the chrome appearance inside...NO chrome just worn-out metallic balls that certainly seems to me to be compromised...The balls look as though they have been rode hard over and over without any grease...They may not need to be replaced but for the peace of mind If I can get some then I'll replace them...I bought a not so known ball screw for the Y but, the X and Z I bought a better quality and I'm not experiencing the concerns I am having with them like these no name...Paul
