Screw drive setup/layout

[fhhhstix]

This is the best I can do.

Here is a list of the stuff you will need to build a screw drive and some pics.

First get some rails from Lowe's it is actually 1/2in cap for ply wood.
Next get some delrin to make the slide
Next get a piece of 10-32 all thread and a 10-32 furniture nut and a thrust bearing it is the blue piece at the end of the screw drive by the nut.
Click here for the link to the thrust bearing
next get at least a 50:1 gear motor and a coupler to hook the gear motor to the threaded rod.. I use an all thread nut and drill it for two set screws.















I hope this helps.

Hey travis thanks for the pics and shopping list. the pic of the thrust bearing looks different than the one in the link, or am i missing something. Also is that just a nylon lock nut at the end by the thrust bearing.

I know you guys have invested a lot of time and money into developing these screwdrives, so any info is appreciated.

Thanks Dave

Also looks like I missed a good show in St. Louis. maybe next year I'll have project road hawg done with a matching dump trailer

The bearing in the link is the same as the one in the truck and yes that is a nylock nut.

I am not hiding anything this is my screwdrive that is on my truck.

Thanks I didnt mean to sound like you were hiding anything. sorry for any confusion. I was looking at the single pic you put up there it just looked diff from the one on the link, i was just unsure if it was the same thing or a pic of something different

You have nothing to be sorry for, I am just usually short and to the point with an answer as I am not real fast at typing.
