    Ballscrew question

    I am using 16MM ballscrews on my router. My question is how did most of you mount the screw? I am using anti backlash motor couplings, and both ends of the screw will be in a bearing. Should I use thrust bearings and nuts to hold the screw firmly within the end bearings, or is that only needed on the motor end? Just trying to get some ideas from someone that has done this before.

    I am using BK and BF bearing blocks on mine. The BK (fixed) end has double bearings. The floating end (BF) has a single bearing. There's a locking washer on the BK end and a snap ring on the floating end.
