Upgrade your WorkBee CNC Machine to our new Thrust Bearing System as used in the WorkBee Z1+. The new system now uses a combination of Radial Bearings, Thrust Bearings, Thrust Bearing Surface Shoulder Washer and Rubber Bushings.
With this system in place, many benefits can be found – the WorkBee Z1+ will run smoother and quieter than ever before with reductions in vibrations of the lead screws. It will also help to distribute loads, minimize forces on the flanged bearings and protect against thermal expansion meaning bearing maintenance will also be massively reduced.
Compatibility
- WorkBee V2.3 & V2.3.1
- WorkBee V2.2 & V2.2.1
- WorkBee V2.1
- WorkBee V2.0 (Significant disassembly and reassembly required)
- WorkBee V1.0 + Screw Conversion Kit (Significant disassembly and reassembly required)
If you have a V1.0 WorkBee Screw Drive or Belt Drive, please order the Original WorkBee Screw Conversion Kit (It includes the components of this kit)
What You Will Be Getting
- 1 x Thrust Bearing Set for the X-Axis
- 2 x Thurst Bearing Set for the Y-Axis

Highly recommended upgrade. lead screw tension more consistent and stays stable for longer. a bit of work to fit but i had my machine in pieces due to moving house and this upgrade was a no brainier. maybe a little on the expensive side though?
