Thread: Securing and Aligning Ballnuts
Threaded View

I've seen and understand the recommended method for aligning BK and BF blocks... first the fixed end and then the floating end... but I've never seen a ballscrew, ballnut, or ballnut housing/support in the flesh so to speak, so please excuse my thicko questions.
The 1605/1610 ballnuts I've seen on the web seem to have a outer diameter of 28mm, and the ballnuts and ex-stock ballnut-housings/supports each have six matching bolt-holes.
Am I right in thinking that none of these bolt holes are threaded and that through-bolts are used to secure the ballnut to the housing, which allows for a very small bit of alignment adjustment?
Can custom-machined housings be made to allow for a greater degree of adjustment?
Also from what I've seen, the ex-stock ballnut housings seem to be a lot broader than many of the custom-machined housings... Is there a reason for this?Last edited by WandrinAndy; 24-08-2012 at 02:32 PM. Reason: ballnut not ballscrew
