1Ball Screw
Begin by dry fitting balls/nut with bearings. Fit should spin freely without bearing skidding. Assemble using lithum grease and use the retainer and belt pulley to retain the bearings setting the encoder gear towards the frame.
Assemble Frame center onto the ball nut near the encoder gear.
Place the front housing lose onto the ball screw for later assembly
Use 1/4-20 or M6 threaded rod cut to length needed for travel configuration, min travel + 21.5mm. Use locking nut (even loctite) on the internal nut and fully assemble through pivot.
