2x 2005 C7 Ballscrew 1450mm Length with Ballnuts + FK/FF mounts and motor coupler

2x RM2005 C7 Ballscrew 1450mm length and SFU2005 ballnut complete with FK (including the lock nut) and FF mounts. Also includes a flexible motor coupler with 8mm dia bore to fit standard nema 23 shaft.

You can consider these new as although they were fitted to my machine its never cut anything. Ideal for a 4ft axis.

Delivery is an option but will be expensive because of the weight and length. Would prefer collection if possible.

Bargain at £60 each or £110 for the pair. You'd normally pay £200+ for these from China not to mention the chance of VAT and import duty on top of that.

Here's a sketch showing the exact dimensions

If they where 2010's I would of ripped your arm off.

I will have a think about your 2005's, and speak to the boss (wife) about it.

Hi
I'm interested in the ballscrews and would appreciate some advice. I'm building a small machine approx 800mm x travel and 600 y travel. Gantry mass approx 20kg (+/- 2kg) with spindle. Would 2005's be up to the job?. i haven't got around to the calcs yet but for my machine I can just machine them to the right length.

Thanks in advance for any help / advice you may be able top offer

Cheers
Leigh

I know this is academic since they're sold - sorry but I'd be tempted to go for 2010.

I'll be honest and say that I've swapped these out on my machine for 2010 as they're just too slow for cutting wood on the end of a nema 23. These small motors only run up to about 1000rpm with reasonable torque. Spinning at that speed the most you can reliably expect is about 5m/min traverse but little torque left for cutting. This is fine if your doing a lot of metal routing where your usually around 1m/min or less but for MDF like I do its just not fast enough where you need to be cutting 4-5m/min usually.

Depends what your cutting the most really! Judging by your gantry weight its not a lot so doubt it will be for metal. If your mostly cutting wood go for 2010 or even 2020 if your using the latest digital drives and suitable motors as these have very fine resolution using realtime microstepping adjust and signal input interpolation. If its metals then 2005 or 2010 would be fine.

Thanks for letting me know . . mate.:neglected:

I considered buying them, for about 20 seconds.
The only thing this size ballscrew is good for is maybe a big milling machine or lathe. For other machines, like CNC routers, the forces on the ballscrews are so low that you don't need the slight increase in stiffness gained from using a RM2005 screw, hence you're much better off sticking with 16mm ballscrews and the appropriate pitch. The price was good, but to me that's not enough to counter the poor performance you'll get on a router with these, especially since it could increase the cost of the electrical parts. Presumably John S has a big machine to convert...

Perhaps, but we both know you'd me much better off getting 1610 or 2010 for a router this size. 325 USD including postage (but not customs) gets you two RM2010-1500mm, so yes a bit more but well worth the extra money if you are swapping since you can keep the same end-machining, unlike with 1610. Wearing out the ballscrew would take some doing anyway, I gather it's generally the nuts that fail first.

Its not slight when your spinning them at 1000rpm+ At 1.45m I've got a 1610 on the Y axis and it just starts to show whip at 10m/min, at 14m/min its like jelly! You won't run at these speeds of course but for cutting wood you want in the range of 4-7m/min depending on the cutter dia and flutes along with DOC. Unless of course your spinning the nut but I'd still go 2010 at those lengths anyway. The cost difference is minimal for the added peace of mind.

Or he's chopping them up into lots of little screws ;) More likely though is he'll put them in his cnc spares stash and leave them for a rainy day. The man has enough parts to set up a cnc factory.

Got two RM2010 at 1450mm with end machining and ballnuts from chai for $218 including shipping. So 325 is very expensive where ever your buying those from.

The cutting force on a CNC router is a few tens of newtons, even when taking 'heavy' cuts in wood or aluminium. There's an additional force when acceleration so lets say 100N. The RM1610 ballscrews are rated for something like 7800N for one million revolutions, so operating at 100N they will last for a very long time. Hence you don't need a bigger screw unless critical speed is an issue, which according to your experiment and the calculation it isn't for this length (1450mm) and RM1610.

I did not say that I had bought any at that, or any, price. That was the first seller I found on ali-express who has RM2010. Last time I checked Chai doesn't sell RM2010 and Jazz posted only a few days ago saying the same. So where did you get your RM2010, or are they actually RM1610?
Either way my point is valid - RM1610 or RM2010 is a much better choice for this length for the vast majority of machines built on this forum. If John S has got a use for them then good for him, since he's just got a good deal.

Forgot who your talking to here Numb nuts.? . . . . What you think you know your wrong about.!!

This machine has been working fine for nearly 5 years with 2005 and the wear is very slight and possibly in the nut, could even be end bearings I haven't checked yet. Mostly it's down to the fact it's been abused and abused with no protection and run in some shity conditions.!!. . . . . 1610 or 2010 would give me nothing extra I have already that is of any use to me so why would I bother changing now.

It would just have been nice to have had the chance to buy some cheap replacement screws before being offered up to general public considering the involvement I've had with this machine.!! . . . ANT.:thumbdown:

If that was serious and you two are having a tiff and Jazz doesn't want the z-axis, my offer is still open just so long as nobody is going to be mortally offended by it.

It looks like there is honour amonst thieves!!!

John maybe you could ransome them to Jazz to get back some of your gear, or was that the other way round?

These are RM2010 and from Chai (linearmotion2008). Don't know about previous stock but when I inquired and ordered yesterday he stocks and sells 2010.

Seems there's something handy there. 2010 are now available for a reasonable price!

Jonathan, your good with this maths stuff.

I have a gantry that weighs approximately 80kg with spindle. With a decent rate of acceleration let's assume its set to 1000 and 160 steps per in mach with dual RM2010 and 4Nm motors. How much kinetic energy is transferred to the motors when doing a direction change at say 1000rpm or 10m/min? You got to decelerate that 80kg in a very short space of time and I'd hate to think how big this number is going to be or if the motors can even handle that.

To be honest, when you mentioned this the other day, I thought you were going with 2010 if it came to replacing the screws and gearing down to 1:1. Didn't even enter my head that you might want them otherwise would have given you a shout of course.

Your in luck because John's a true gent and looks like he's willing to step aside so your welcome to them if your still interested by the time you read this. Let us both know ASAP and we can sort the details.

Cheer's John. I understand its not worth the trip just for the Z axis so no problem. I'll wait to hear from Jazz and see if he want these screws. If not you can still have them mate.

to be fair john he did also edit jazz's earlier comment about you as well where he called u an old bastard... between friends you know it's a joke but from an outsiders point of view you do question sometimes if things are jokes or not

I don't need Lee to fight my non existent battles, all big boys here. I get on well with Jazz, it's all taking the piss in good fun.

Just some don't have a sense of humour..................................

I'd feel happier with this red pen application if he reigned his so called moderators in a bit better.

Right, so you have said let:
acceleration =1000mm/s^2=1m/s^2
velocity = 10m/min = 10/60= 0.167 m/s (not actually required for the initial calculation)
mass = 80kg

It's just newtons 2nd law, so F=ma=80*1=80 Newtons (equivalent to lifting about 8.2kg), so not far off my earlier estimate.

From the motor's point of view it's not 80N, since we have to consider the ballscrew in between. The ballscrew gives the motors a huge mechanical advantage. The relevant formula, which can be derived from considering the ballscrew as a ramp, is:

T=F*p/(2*pi*e)
Where T is the torque, F is the force applied to the nut, p is the ballscrew pitch (so 10mm=0.01m) and e is the efficiency (about 0.9). So chuck the numers in:
T=80*0.01/(2*pi*0.9)=0.14 Nm

So changing direction at 10m/min and 1m/s, as you describe, only translates to an extra 0.14Nm torque on the ballscrew, compared to going at a constant speed and 80N force on the ballnut.

Thanks for that.

Does that calculation include counteracting the inertia from the screw turning too? I forgot to mention that. I'm interested to see what the total load would be.

John I haven’t seen that post of Jazz’s, but if it’s a comment about himself then I don’t think it would/could be perceived in the same way and would lead to anything else.

I know that, some do know that, allot of people dont know that and that's where i come in. A joke is only funny when everyone in the "room" is in on it.

There's no Red Pen, No one has done anything wrong (as such), im not tapping the badge or picking on anyone. My kids are having a sleep over with their cousins the age range is 3 - 10 so you can imagine what i'm up against, as such im up and down from my laptop like a yoyo, if i'd of had more opportunity i was getting ready to type up a PM to you and Jazz just to let you know why i had removed the comments and there was no "hard feelings" to keep it simple.

I've kept this short and sweet so i can get it in before it all gets blown out of context and people start chipping in, Merry Christmas John its good to see you active again.

Well Mr Stevenson I saw your Post before the SS jumped in and I must say I've never been so insulted in my life good Sir.

So on this matter request you meet me Sir in the Central reservation of the M1 for a dual at dawn. (Or when ya eventual fire the zimmer up.!!)

Bring the Axle grease because the loser gets Rm2005 inserted side ways and Z axis up his Pi$$~£.!! . . . . Now F@~% O%% You Old B%@~% and happy Xmas mate. .:surprise: X X X
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X

Now I've got a important and just has relevant Calculation for Jonathan.?

Was in workshop Tuther day and waiting for Job to finish when I felt another Jobbie coming on and while there Nipping the Old vice Cheeks started to wonder just how many Nm of force could be applied thru Cheek power alone.? . . . . Obviously realise this will be a rising rate has desperation sets in so some parameters will be needed..?

So lets say when at the Turtle point of 15st Fat B@~&$ erds thrust curve when powered by a full Vidaloo madras.?

Oh and what will be the stall point time curve so know how many liner meters of paper for Clean up.? :joker:

You have obviously not been round much then.

If we are talking about the central reservation on the M1 than lets use the bit just below J27, the Mansfield turn.

Rather partial to that bit after having removed about 30 metres of it in a wrecker one day doing a slow spiral from slow lane to central reservation.

So after all the "Pi$$~£.!! . . . . Now F@~% O%% You Old B%@~% and happy Xmas mate. .:surprise: X X X

Are you having them ?

All that f%$king moaning and you don't want them now! lol You don't want these anyway, get some 2010 now that Chai is doing them. Next bunch of cast offs I'll give you a call first.

Right John, your back on then. I'm off down to Bulwell in Notts for new years tomorrow around 2ish and back Wednesday morning. I can take the parts down there if you want to collect since its closer. If you turn up on Tuesday be warned that I'll probably be wrecked still but I'm sure you'll have seen far worse! If not, it'll have to be Wednesday onwards.
