    Has anyone used these in conjunction with mechanical limit switches? Have the hall effect on one side of the axis for homing, and the mechanical at the other end? If you were to do this, are you...
  7. Cheaper alternative to wj200? Teco L510 - someone check my fact checking?

    I was looking for a more 'bullet proof' option as an alternative to the HY chinese vfds. Seems that the wj200 is a pretty common suggestion. At 340$ its pretty pricey at a hobby level.

    I'm not sure I follow what you're saying about the washer. But I do understand about the paper shim and will give it a shot. Place the shim between the flange and ball nut mount.
    Thanks for the tip

    Having trouble aligning my ballscrews

    Nobody?
    Just wandering if having the flange on the other side is best, or affects the way the ballscrew gets machined
  15. Is there a proper way to mount fk type ballscrew bearings?

  19. Re: Will this Lenze VFD work well w/ a chinese 2.2kw?

    Why would Lenze rate it at a 2.2kw vfd if it wouldn't work to the full capacity? My thinking would be that would only bring troubles to their front step if they advertised...

  21. Re: A stout CNC router needs some input on ballscrews

    To be honest, I haven't really set a 'goal' for rapids. As long as I can do around 150ipm I'd be happy (I don't do many cuts over long distances). So that's roughly 762rpm. When I mention 'critical...

    Even if the place is noted as a supplier on tbi's website? Z0- no preload/normal
    Z1- light z2- medium z3-heavy

    Do you just change out the ball bearings? Where do you get these from?
