Thanks Erick,
If it'll hold thoes big servos of yours, it will sure hold these 116 ouncers.
I'll go with a bearing on the non motor end only, with a 1/4" gap between the shafts for flex. Think I'll leave a little gap on the outside of the bearing for lead screw expansion, because the rubber hose will keep it from moving along the shaft axis.
I like thoes clamps, both small and strong. I'll try to find a source in Austin.
