Update:
Got my bearings mounted on the rails and one side rack mounted and set up. Just have the other rack to do.
I bolted the one side bearing rod with supports but I think I am going to weld the other side. It is a pain to drill up through the 1/4 inch tube and get them in the right spot. The gantry slides up and down the rails very nice so I think if I weld the other side I am good. If I have to take the shaft off at some time I will have to grind it but I don't think that will happen any time soon.
I just got my two Gecko 201x drives yesterday. Man they came fast and I am in Canada. Nice job Gecko inc. Took like 3 days. Sweet. I was surprised at how small they are. I have mounted them to heat sinks and then mounted both into an old power supply case. I will take some pics tomorrow. I might have the whole thing moving this weekend. Whats it been like 2 years since I started.............. |
