The common way to tension double nuts is to (basically) screw them into each other and lock the angular relationship. You _can_ get preloaded single nuts, using oversized balls. That only works if the ball track is the right shape, though, it needs to be a 4-point contact shape. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
