I'm using the PK266-01A (no shaft on other end, but same motor otherwise) for my Z Axis, works great.
I have 3, but changed over to PK266-E2.0B (was 84.00 usd from oriental online) for the X and Y axis to get more torque at high speed (running them at 1800 rpm at 46v 2A w/gecko drivers, they can run at 2000 rpm).
Depends on the jog and cut speed you want to end up with, but they can work with the right setup.
I used direct drive with 1/2"x10 acme drive screws, this gives lots of holding/drive torque without gearing/pulleying down.
On the Z axis (where I'm using the PK266-01A) I've set the max speed to around 120 IPM whereas on the X and Y (PK266-02A) I have it set at 180 IPM.
I believe that the PK266-01 is rated at 1500 RPM, so you can calculate what your max speed would be with the gear/pulley ratio and the drive/lead screws. |
