Best Linear rail mounting set up

[JAZZCNC]

Both setups would work perfectly fine as these rails are designed to work in both those positions carrying much more load, 36Kg is nothing, these rails won't even know they are carrying 36Kg.

Thank you so much for the reply. Good to know they're more than enough for the job. But one of my concern now is can the combination of screw/motor/driver drive that heavy gantry? I believe 5mm is the equivalent lead of the acme screw.

Don't worry 36Kg isn't heavy at all for a gantry and those motors will move it no problem. If the screw is 8 turns per inch The lead of the screw is 3.175mm but you have 4 starts so that is 3.175 x 4 =12.7mm or 1/2" pitch. This is a nice pitch for a wood router and will give rapids in the region of 10Mtr/min. (390in/min) or above.
You'll rarely cut at this speed so will have more than enough torque when cutting.

Haha looks like I messed up the conversion. My old cnc moves that fast but with 2 gantry motors and a lightweight gantry. This http://www.elab.ph/forum/index.php?topic=35151.100. Sorry mostly in our language. Cheap used linear rails started popping out in the local market so I thought of another upgrade. Well, thank you so much for your input. I'll post pictures as soon as I commence building again.
