Mounts; Motors, bearings etc..

[mocha]

Thanks Ian, Thats a big help!

Can you fit the coupling to the motor shaft then fit the ballscrew shaft into the coupling.

That's the plan, (theroretical plan!) :)
Mount the motor first, align that with the bearing at the far end, then the coupling loose, bearing, ballscrew. Then make another plan when that doesn't work! lol

Are you using a bought bearing mount for the ballscrew or are you going to make one?

Yes to both parts.. The other side of the steel "box" will be what I bolt the bearing mount to as it were...
