Finding The Right Length CNC Ball Screw

There are a lot of Ball Screws on eBay for CNC machines of differing lengths.

In the selection process the L in the Title Description often refers to the Length of the Ball Screw, for example:

SFU1204 Ball Screw L500mm Ballscrew With SFU1204 Single Ballnut For CNC

To get a correct fit make sure your dimensions match or are with spec i.e. you could use a L500 mm rod for a replacement 476 mm rod by cutting it to size.  But an L400 mm rod would not reach the end of your CNC deck.

I've widened my search eBay CNC Ball Screws click on the link below to get a comprehensive list.

These screws are also referred to as Ballscrew Leadscrew and sold as such, these are the long Leadscrews without the attached ballscrew.  These are for users who just needs the screw and know its exact size and dimensions.

Finding A Replacement Ball Screw And Rod For Small CNC Machines

Whether you small Chinese CNC machine sustained damaged to its Axis screws and rods in transit (arrived broken) or whether it has sustained damaged in use but physical for or scarf jam, they can be impossible to repair.





Following a recent question to my fixed1t Youtube

I decided to go and have a look for one.  As is always the case with any search engine, the biggest obstacle is not the lack of resources or availability online, its down to know the wording one uses in a search that  and the results.

If you don't get the search text right, you'll get bogus or no results.

Therefore here is a search that I created, that gives me appropriate and relatively cheap results. I hope people find it useful.
