Fellas,
Well, the goodies from the Bridgeport auction just keep on comin' at eBay. What a haul... I've never seen such a glut of new ballscrews in my life. And linear ways, etc. Blowing my mind and wallet this month.
The first load came in today, and I'm impressed. Three new-in-box ballscrews at ridiculously low prices I couldn't pass up, even though I don't know just exactly what I'm holding here. Try $120 for TWO new 30" NSK double-nut screws with a deviation test report. Insane, really... These screws are just beautiful.
Of course, I had little choice as far as lead pitch was concerned. The screws are solid and smooth, but I'm wondering if a 10mm lead is too steep for most stepper motor cnc applications? And one is 16mm, not even two threads per inch.
If anyone knows, what do most folks use out there, pitch-wise? I'm having a nightmare of these stout screws requiring a 600 oz.-in. servo motor to get 'em up and running right!
