Gents,
I have decided to try and see if I can fit the new ball screw as 'correctly' as possible and was wondering if anyone had any tips. ( I have electrical background.)
I also found a paper shim under one side the the ball nut mounting block, which made me uneasy.....
I have goggled until my eyes bled but did not see a simple and definitive method.
What I WAS going to do was remount the ball screw on the bearings , refit the motor and leave the cap screws attaching the carriage to the ball nut mount OFF.
Drive the carriage back and forth electrically, with a dial indicator on it and try to see if there's any run out. I assume I'll be able to fit shims between ball nut mount and carriage to eliminate any run out......?
Maybe I can just use feeler gauges to measure any 'gap' at either end of the ball nut travel?
Am I on the right track?....lol
