    All the forces are gonna be on the ballscrew closest to the foot.. I think that is what you mean..
    If I make a custom end block, enclosed by 3 walls, then how would it be able to bent the profile? The profile is reinforced by a supported rail at the end. In my idea the only force there is non-rotational? Could be I am missing something! So please correct me.. would be a shame if it turs out to be a complete failure!!!

    All forces will go to BF12 bearing block
    Pushrod gives it to ballnuth/ballnuth gives it to ballscrew/ ballscrew gives it to bf12 block.
    Point where static load and dynamic load comes together

    I think that the BF12 can be designed better and have its load more on de beams itself.. I'd rather have the load on the 'bf12' then on the motor. I'll test this construction, with a custom BF12 type. if a redesign is needed at least I have the parts to build them..
    I'll start the ordering process somewhere in the beginning of January. At least for a single part and I hope it will be able to do the job..
