I suppose I should have mentioned that I tested it with a 3.5 to 1 belt reduction and a 5tpi screw. The original motor that it replaced on the shoptask's y axis had a 1000 rpm at 39VDC. These "shorter" motors have less power obviously, as it faulted out unless velocity settings were slightly reduced. This is where the slower ipm setting in the tuning of the motor was required. The only way I could get it to fault then was to apply execessive drag to the handwheel attached to the ballscrew.....a vulnerable resistance point.
