I was wondering how much accuracy is possible with rolled 5/8" ballscrews? Could they be accurate to .005"?

Can you show me how to make the preloaded?[i]
p.s might think about making your own "preloaded nuts" with two cheaper normal nuts. [/B]
I got my ball scews from http://www.mcmaster.com/ for $1.09 per inch
I used their ball nuts $21.04 each to make a loaded ball nut using Dan's method from Camtronics.
Instead of turning down the ball nuts he added a coupler
Then simply put it on the end of the ball screw
That requires a bit of magic to internally thread those couplers to match the ballscrew, doesn't it?
How about ballscrews from Roton. Has any one used these before? How do they preform? http://roton.com/web/balls.jsp
No Dan said to use set screws
My thought is to use a shear pin.
I am presently seting up a system using the ball screws from Roton. I have received them and they loolk good. The packaging was supurb and the e-mails that I have had with them has given good me a good feeling. they have been very responsive to my questions and the order was made and recieved in good time.
Right now, I am still making pieces parts for the assembly and will probably start on the actual machining of the lead screw next week/

How are you going to drill through the ballscrew?Originally posted by replicapro

My thought is to use a shear pin.
The shear pin is an oval bar that gets inserted into a milled out section
Ahh with ya now!!
I was thinking a shear pin across the ballscrew and couldn't imagine how to break the surface to drill the hole!
Is any one familiar with Nook Industries's ball screw bearing supports? They call them EZZE-MOUNTs. If I were to use those on a router, with direct drive, would I need just 1 on the side opposing the motors? If I went with a belt drive, would I need 2, one on each end of the ball screw. Also, which would be better/more practical on a router, Double Angular Contact Bearings or Single Radial Bearings?
All input is greatly appreciated.
Have you checked the price of those things? $$$
