Mounts; Motors, bearings etc..

[Lee Roberts]

Mocha,

When the mounts got made for my machine (the ones in the pic above) they were designed specifically for the said coupling, months later when I was ready to order my parts the coupling had gone past “end of line” and I couldn’t buy them anymore. It was a real time waster trying to locate a coupling that was the right OD and overall length, so if I was you I would order your couplings as soon as you can.

I’m not sure if you’re buying pre machined ball screws or turning them down yourself, ether way you should be able to order/machine them with the final blank longer then you need it, then once you come to assembly you could trim them to best fit. May save you some time now and allow you to move on.

I don’t know if you can use it or not but attached is a drawing you may find useful while you’re working things out, if you’re like me and do everything “pen to paper” then you could also print this out, finalize it, then use it for machining purpose.
