Linear Motion, internal circulation, ball screw - function and assembly

I had to take the lead screw out of the ball screw for transportation. I realized that it was not trivial to put it back together. In my first attempt I had 4 steel ball left over so in a second attempt I decided to collect my learning's in this video. I managed to get all steel balls in place and the ball screw is working nicely now. See how it function, the part and how to assembly.

Came here after watching This Old Tony’s video on ball screws. But an unexpected bonus is getting to hear my favourite accent. I lived in Aalborg for a year about 20 years ago and grew to love the distinctive accent that Danes have when speaking English. I really miss it!

Great I didn't realise the balls went in single circles. Very informative for the inevitable 'whoops!'.

+Paco de Poio Hi Paco, I got it from China as part of an 6040 CNC Mechanical Kit.It is probaby very similar to the one i link to below. Please note that quality can differ quite some when you buy the Chinese parts. The one I got seems ok though.Br, Martin www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-SFU1605-L1000mm-rolled-ball-screw-C7-with-1605-flange-single-ball-nut-for-BK/32347802374.html?spm=2114.30010308.3.10.O8UJ65&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_7,searchweb201602_2_10017_10005_10006_10034_10021_507_10022_10020_10018_10019,searchweb201603_6&btsid=c26fc946-0ea5-4745-a25d-d43ba3e83ed2
