    Hi guys
    Currently undertaking a university project to create a 6 dof.
    Can anyone point me to a UK supplier of ballscrew assemblies that won't blow the bank only have £350 for a budget (I do already have one actuator built except someone decided to take the nut off and lose all the bearings)

    Thanks in advance

    I'd suggest Ebay, the ones I ordered came from China but arrived pretty quickly (about 4 weeks). I'm pretty sure there are suppliers with UK stock though if your in a rush.
