Hi All,

I'm not sure if I'm wasting money, but should I get the Gecko G540, or individual Gecko drives like 3 G201x...I'm not even sure which individual Gecko drive to get...And what electronic...

I would check the rail also...and I'll check mine tonight just to see....

I'm starting to wonder if something like this could happen while shipping.....

The items were well packaged.....and I...

So I think I found the problem...

If I slide the bearing on the ballscrew without tightening the nut it will spin freely, granted it's not as free and the bearing on the other side, but if I...

Walky,

Funny you should say this:

"I learned about how AC bearings work the hard way, hammering one of them on the ID to get it out of a block, only to get a bunch of balls rolling on the...

Thanks again Louie,

I'll fiddle around with it some more.....

newpatch

Thanks Louie,

I'm going to try to remove the seals but leave the little spacers in to see how it works.....

What I don't understand is why you need 2 bearings and 2 seals on this side of the...

Hi All,

I was wrestling with this bearing over the weekend, and after installing it on my ballscrew rod I installed the nut but the bearing was tight. I took it apart, relubed it and played around...

Hi Tadas25,

Are you using those nema23 motors for your machine? And how are they working out?

Also, the load ratings for the bearings, did you figure out what it all means? I too am trying find...

No problem abender,

The communications with them/him is outstanding....even after the sale is made...


Does anyone have any suggestions on what oil to put these parts so they don't pit or rust...

My bearing blocks also have 2 set screws....

Hey sixofone.....that locknut your talking about that goes on the ballscrew do your have set screws on the corners??? Mine do but if you look on the...

Thanks guys....

I was thinking about using channel but thought it was too thin....that's why I asked..

I was planning on using rectangular aluminum. C channel was anoth design thought.

HI All,

Today I received my order from linearmotionbearings2008. It took 8 bus days from the time I paid him.

Thought I'd share in case everyone is wondering about the quality and service..

HI All,

Can't seem to find a load rating for aluminum c channel. I'm planning on using either a 4" x 2" x .15" thick 6061 to mount my round linear rails (on the bottom level of the C channel) or...

My same thoughts drools...

I want to start with a good strong base...from there I can add the addition things to make it better.

I drew up another gantry design with the linear rails mounted horizontally to help the bearing load....and if it can be done...

I can add some kind of plate that will connect the upper and lower...

Good to hear from you drools....

I see your point "extra piece of extrusion in the table to mount the bearing blocks"... I might put one in just like the fla-100 has...

As for the motor mount,...

Thanks Phife,

I wasn't sure if the standard 6060 would be strong enough, but I'm planning on putting my legs underneath so it should prevent deflection....considering all this I might just use the...

mcan,

What's a "gantry riser set "?

louieatienza,

It's still a working in progress and I didn't draw the legs in yet.

But if you can picture it with 6-8in legs I can mount the ballscrew mount on the bottom of the lower gantry...

Thanks...

I already ordered the linear rails and ballscrews.....The gantry will be aluminum..The mdf will be my table/spoil board...

Hi All,

This is my design subjected to re-design. I tried not to make it complicated and easy to assembly. The extrusions are metric 30 series starting with the 2 main ones on the y axis. These...

RossMosh,

My machine will has a 24" x 36" x 6-8" working area, similar to an Fla-100. I also thought of mixing extrusions for the rails and the rest aluminum stock....but having slots already made...

Thanks guys,

That's kind of what I thought.....Extrusions are easier to work with might be justified using them.

HI All,

I'm going through my design for my cnc using 80/20 but I'm finding out that it's starting to add up. I know extrusions are easier to work with but can you build a cnc out of regular...

Hi All,

I've ordered 20mm round linear rails and want to mount so that they will be out of the way of debris from the router.

Here's 1 way I saw on Senna's router:

Hi All,

I'm confused....how do you get a price on this site?

Do you have to request a quote?

newpatch

Yeah, 6.35mm is 1/4"..I worded the question wrong...(I reworded then thread)

I should have asked if flexible couplings work better better than solid shaft ones....I've seen rubber tubing used...

Hi,

I've been quoted a price for linear rails and ballscrews with machined ends. The couples are 3pcs of flexible couplings 6.35mm*8mm.

Is flexible better than solid couplers?

Thanks again for being informative louieatienza, it really helps us newbie's a lot and saves us time and money.....

Kind of off the topic...but I've been scoping out my drives and I'm not sure how...
