Stiff 1610 ballscrews, need help.... asap.

[i2i]

For precision balls, i would try contacting a ballscrew repair business. There are a few in the UK, and probably some in your area.

It sounds like a strange job
But i could imagine well paid ....

I found some advertisement of steel balls manufacturer that offers special diameters service, but i guess it would be quite expensive for 100 pieces ;-)

What if i treat balls between a rigid sandwich of sandpaper ?

I know, i'm starting to be laughable :lol:

But there is a thing that i'm seriously asking to myself :

does the lettering applied to plastic tap on ballnuts have some meanings ?

The couple of ballnuts in object have double recirculation circuits each one, with different taps lettering.

See attached photo showing what i mean for "a tap".
