Thread: Linear bearing upgrade options?
Threaded View

I counted the balls and there was one missing on one of the races but that was the smooth one!! Who would have thought that!
I think that there is to many things I would like to improve and by just upgrading the bearings that probably isn't going to do it and may well be a waste of an investment. I am probably going to upgrade to a hiwin RG type rail in the future and larger better quality ballscrews but that investment will have to wait a bit longer
I have checked the shafts and they are all prefect as far as I can see and measure but there are only limited screws holding the rail to the aluminum profile which is a sorce of flex as well as the bearing
I took some pictures so you can see the machine anyway but thanks for your help guys !
