Replacement Ball Screw
To reassemble, reverse steps 1-8 making sure to reconnect the X-axis Ball Nut oil line. When reassembling, leave the X-axis motor mount assembly cap screws finger tight. Reconnect the coupler but hold short of putting all the covers back on. Power up your machine and controller and carefully jog the X-axis all the way to the right. Once you have jogged to the table to the right you can snug down the mount’s cap screws and reattach the cover plate and limit switch cover. Then, reference the Lost Motion and ACB/Gib adjustment document.
