Two ideas for linear sliders September 08, 2008 03:02PM |
Hi all,
here i have two examples of linear sliders i used in high-precision but leightweight XY-plotters - the "KF-5" (black plastic body) is from a Gould-XY-plotter, the "KF-3" we made from aluminium and lathed rolls on ball-bearings with two normal and an excenter-screw:
Atached some detail-images

Hi Forrest,
but this sort of sliders isn't intended for greater loads, we built our first pen-plotters with them ...
For medium loads i mostly use bush-bearings and for heavy loads (as in my CNC) supported rails.
Here a sample of bush-bearing-sliders which i used for laser-plotters and what should be fine for a repstrap too:
The only bad thing - they aren't reprappable ...
