Upgrade your WorkBee CNC Machine with our latest Thrust Bearing System, as featured on the WorkBee Z1+. This advanced system incorporates Radial Bearings, Thrust Bearings, a Thrust Bearing Shoulder Washer, and Rubber Bushings to deliver a significant performance boost. With the new Thrust Bearing System installed, you’ll experience a smoother, quieter operation, with a noticeable reduction in lead screw vibrations. The system also helps to distribute loads more effectively, minimises stress on the flanged bearings, and compensates for thermal expansion. As a result, bearing maintenance requirements are dramatically reduced, keeping your WorkBee running at its best for longer.
Compatibility
- WorkBee V2.0 (Significant disassembly and reassembly required)
- WorkBee V1.0* (Significant disassembly and reassembly required)
*Applies only if you have already installed the WorkBee Screw Conversion Kit.
If you have a V1.0 WorkBee Screw Drive or Belt Drive without the WorkBee Screw Conversion Kit, please order the WorkBee Screw Conversion Kit which includes all components featured in this upgrade.

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?
