Enco sells at least four that I know of;

1. 201-2826 (Phase-II, $68.95)
2. 201-2536 (?, $119.95)
3. 201-2524 (?, $153.95)
4. 891-4153 (Palmgren, $198.95)

I have #1 and #4 above. Ordered and returned #3 above. The only one not
used by me is #2 above. The advertised picture and specs for #4 are not
correct, it is not the same as #2. #4 is the one used in my CNC machine.

You can even change out the Acme stuff for ball screws if so inclined.
