Re: Balls, balls and balls
I think you'll be lucky to find one, unless someone has an empty 2005 nut.
They're a tricky shape, but all the plastic bit does is guide the bearings from one channel, over one to the next... so it shouldn't be that difficult to make something that works. Would be interesting to try it, but probably best to just buy one.
Re: Balls, balls and balls
Ive got that 1610 ballnut with most of the pieces your welcome to parts of that if its of any use. I suspect its entirely different though... being 16mm
Re: Balls, balls and balls
I think i've got an empty 1605 in the shed, dont know if that would work?

Re: Balls, balls and balls
The plastic bits are different sizes, since the channels they interact with are different dimensions...so assorted empty nuts are much help here. I've not got any 2005 nuts since it's rarely the best size screw to use.
Re: Balls, balls and balls
Thanks guys, i have a working 1605 and check, the pitch is the same so maybe close? just hope i don't loose the balls out of that one finding out.
Re: Balls, balls and balls
Ok just gone and had a look and the 1605 i could not risk taking it apart to look. What is interesting is the existing ones in the 20mm nut have 2505/1, 2505/2 embossed on the plugs. I will assume i have number 3 missing. The 2005 also has only 3 plugs and the 1605 has 4.? does it make a difference.
Gary if you are reading this could you shed any light?
Cheers
Paul
PS
the holes are the same size for the plugs on 16 and 20?
Re: Balls, balls and balls
did you get them from me?
I have a box of about 50 nuts that need assembling, but are mainly the 1605 and 1610 size. are the ball returns blue or orange?
Re: Balls, balls and balls
Hi Gary these are Orange and these came from the over seas shopping arcade i'm afraid ( too good a deal at the time). Do you see any difference between the returns (as long as the pitch is the same) from 16 to 25?
Re: Balls, balls and balls
How come you have so many, do you dismantle them intentionally for cleaning? I've found that a surprising number of the one's I've had from China contain small bits of swarf, which is rather worrying.
