[Emc-users] custom | stock bearing nut

2022-04-05 Thread dave engvall
Hi all, I have a pair of ball screws: THK KX 71227 A These are new but older and as far as I can tell not on the THK site. They are threaded on one end to retain a bearing. M15 x 0.8 or close. Does anyone know of a bearing nut that would fit or am I stuck with having a pair custom made? I've spe

wow - I had a hard enough time finding 12mm x 1.. The local hardware store actually had 'jam nuts' in that pitch. I can't say I have ever run across .8 - are you sure? ;) sam On Tue, Apr 5, 2022 at 11:47 AM dave engvall wrote: > Hi all, > I have a pair of ball screws: THK KX 71227 A > Th

Measure the thread accurately and even without a lathe it should be easy enough to thread mill a nut. Are your certain about the 0.8mm pitch? A pitch of 0.75 or 1.0mm seems more likely? A M15x0.75 tap is available from https://www.threadtools.com/hss-taps/hss-taps-2-p-metric-9/p9 and I'm certain ot

McMaster and Misumi have M15x1 bearing retaining nuts, but nothing finer pitch. Hard to say if your ball screw was supplied with the thread from THK or if it was supplied unfinished and machined later. I don't even see M15x0.8 in Machinery's Handbook. -- Ralph ___

[Emc-users] Can't compile MODBUS VFD in 2.8.2
