    Ball screw info, disassemble or breakdown image.

    Hi guys, been a while since I've been on here.

    I have a question about ball screws.

    I have an X3 that I converted a few years back with an CNCfusion kit.

    I'm looking for info on how the ball screws are assembled or maybe a break down image.

    I'm trying to figure out what the set screws in the sides of the ball screw end are holding? There are 2 at 90 degress to each other. Do they hold that white plastic scraper ring in?

    Cheers,

    Those holes are for lubrication. The set screws just plug the holes.

    The empty holes are oiling.
    The holes with setscrews....the setscrews hold the white plastic wipers( which keep debris out of the insides)
