Hiya,

Pretty much yes, if you use slightly bigger ball bearings than the distance between the carriages and rail.

The ball bearing size (relative) determines the amount of preload achieved. From what I've read, the most common amounts of preload used for linear guides are 8, 5 and 2 percent of their load rating (dynamic).

For ballscrews and nuts you can do the same thing with the ball sizing, use an adjustable nut or use two nuts.

Well.....I've been a bit quiet on here and for good reason, I found out my good wife was having an affair!! So dealing with a lot of shit at the minute, mainly custody of the kids and making sure I still have a family home and some cash left at the end of it. Just had my Decree nisi date for the 1st September so all being well and if we can come to a fair agreement on asset splitting (Fair to me would be she got F all but that ain't gonna happen) Hopefully I will be divorced middle of November, What a waste of 22 years! but onward and upward and hopefully I will be in the mood to start/finish my machine soon. Think I need a hobby to get me out the house and meet some new people.
Take care and if you feel like lifes getting you down....Just think about me and how it could be worse and have a good chuckle :) I know it's not quite life or death but sometimes it feels like it!

Charlie I've got the T-shirt been there done that in exactly the same circumstances, actually was with my best mate so possible worse if you didn't know the Twat and let me tell you buddy it's the best thing that happened to me.!

You'll soon learn Money and assets mean very little in grand scheme. The kids will love you no matter what and even if young they are not stupid they know who's gulity so don't worry about them.

Stings like bastard at first and if you can get thru the Dark nights then after while you'll get your head around the fact that your FREE.!! . . . .Then it's Charlie Time. .

Keep chin up mate it does get better.

Well at least I didn't know the bloke but she did, she worked with him for six years! but the affair "only" started last August. It's not so much the affair but her attitude since I found out. She is trying to prevent me seeing the kids at every opportunity she can even though I was their sole carer for the first 2 months. Being a total be itch like I was the one who did wrong

won't talk to me, Text only or "speak to your solicitor" She's gonna be in for a shock though because I offered her £40000 for a clean break and her solicitor said she'd get a lot more (without knowing any financial details) so she refused but it seems she may be entitled to less than that now and because she went straight to a solicitor she will end up with even less. Here's hoping.

Ah ah another one in the "Free to do what ever HE likes, with who ever HE likes club.!! . . . . Wise man once told me when fall off bike get straight back on but learn what caused the fall and don't make same mistake.

Same with Women.! Go out straight away get another BETTER model but learn from your mistake. Yes even if they did the cheating you had some blame.!!. . . Find what and change.!

The new improved you with better model stings the EX Bitch like nothing you can imagine.. . .Picture on my Ex wife face when I turned up for kids with New Car and prettier Passenger was priceless.!. . . . couldn't have hurt her more if I'd smacked at back of head with 3x2.!! . . . In all honesty Didn't make me feel good seeing her pain but did have small feeling of satisfaction in sense of "Aint Karma Bitch"

Good luck Lads the stinging soon goes away and then it's Happy days.!! . .
