Hope you guys can help.

Just setting up my X drive in Mach2 and need some help in calculating the steps.

Specs are:

Servo Motor 1750 RPM.
Encoder Quadrature 500 (2000 steps?)
Reduction 27 to 1
Belt Drive: 300mm circumference

1/27 = .037037 RPM per RPM of motor.

Travel = 300 mm * .037037
= 11.11111 mm per rpm.

mm per step = 11.11111 / 2000 (steps)
= .0055555 mm per step.

What would be the max speed I could obtain with Mach2 running at 45,000 hz. Is that 45,000 pulses per second?....

I am getting somewhat confused with this.... I worked it out for the Ball screw drives...but this one...

regards
