    Schaublin Spindle Cam Nut

    My Schaublin 150 has a Cam Lock system which looks like D1-4. One of the nuts in the spindle is broken at the top and needs to be replaced. It looks different from the standard cam lock nut and has some off-center features which I cannot turn or mill (if I try to make a new one myself). Is there...

    Schaublin 150 Balls in Leadscrew

    Got them here: https://simplybearings.co.uk I guess they pack them as you order and stick a label for reference.

    Schaublin 150 Balls in Leadscrew

    Installed the new balls. 66 in each nut. Broke one of the screws holding the key in the process. Had to turn a new one (it is an odd shape). Cannot feel any significant change in comparison to the old balls (which were only 60 un each nut). It moves quite smoothly. Will optimistically continue...

    Schaublin 150 Balls in Leadscrew

    I'm not sure I'm mentally ready for such a process, plus I could not find balls with a higher grade than 100 in my country, so I have to order them from all over the globe, which takes time (especially in such sizes). I have to decide now whether to take it apart again and try the new balls (and...

    Schaublin 150 Balls in Leadscrew

    Thanks. I measured few of the ones I have to be 4.76mm (caliper). You’re saying that if it does not turn smoothly with the new balls I should return to the old ones?

    Schaublin 150 Balls in Leadscrew

    Thank you, Already installed it (with 60 balls each, so a 10% decrease), and it was a complete nightmare. There are no directions or explanations anywhere on how it's done. Took me hours and 4-5 attempts. Problem is that the balls will not stay on the internal threads for too long, especially...

    Schaublin 150 Balls in Leadscrew

    I am engaged in a full restoration project of a 150 and while taking the leadscrew and carriage apart I found 122 steel balls (and there was no sign of any balls lost during disassembly). On reassembly, I glued them all in place with grease and it looks like there could be 2-3 more on each nut...

    Thanks. The Rapid belt is not in the manual or in any of the attached drawings. I wrote to Schaublin and they replied that thay do not stock it but it's PowerGrip 390 L 075 (which I found easily on eBay).

    Schaublin 150 Belts

    Hi, On Schaublin 150 belts are listed in the manual (attached page). There are 4 belts listed there, 3 of them at the spindle side (2 for the motor). I find it impossible to obtain the lower belt 32.5/13/990mm (Continental Veriflex FZ 30°). Moreover, there is a 5th belt, which is connecting the...
