Alright so I modified my original design. I now have a 40x40 extrusion framing sandwiched between two 1/4" aluminum plates. The total size is...
The thermal expansion issue got me thinking. The gantry sides that the beam will be mounted to are steel. So I guess I need to look into doing a...
Yeah another design I drew up was to sandwich the extrusion between to aluminum plates but I am trying to keep within a budget so I am looking at...

Thanks for all the info guys. Food for thought.
Would love to hear what others that have rack and pinion setups have learned about what works best for different applications. I would assume I...
Good info. Thanks
Hello, I am in the process of building a C-beam machine and am considering switching my design from lead screws to direct drive rack & pinion for...
Dang It! Why did I have to check my post. Now I am rethinking some things after seeing your build. Ugh! I have a few questions for you. What size...
Thanks for the info. I am still trying to figure out which way I want to go. Having trouble finding mounting plates for the HG series HIWIN linear...
