Ah yes. I had completly forgotten about that type. Should fit nicely on the back of my z-axis, and a small string are much easier to fit in then a bulky cylinder. Thank you all, have given me a broader view on things. My ballscrews arrived today, a rolled, cheap, preloaded comtop. They need a little bit of force to rotate, so well.. Guess i can make fitting for a pulley or two into the parts i have yet to make, in case i need a counterweight device of some sort.
Thanks.
