4thseal, thank you for the question.
Functionally, I would say the arrangement of these linear shafts is in line with their intended purpose.
They slide in two ball bushings in a linear direction with axial and radial loads applied along the linear shaft.
In this case, instead of being typically on the Y or X axis, they are used in the Z direction and instead of the
bushings moving, the shaft moves.
Keep in mind that these are two 1.18" diameter hardened steel shafts over a span of about 8" and
the unsupported portion of the shaft never exceeds the ball bushing spacing at any time.
I am pretty sure Peter (peteeng) can show some quick calcs how the two 30mm shafts would compare
to a conventional aluminum extension plate most designs use.
To get back to your original question, I have not observed any resonance issues whatsoever on the
prototype machine over the two years I have been testing it on various materials.
