800 x 4 x 2 = 6400 steps/ inch. Max velocity is how fast the machine can move reliably without the drives faulting. Use trial and error method.
my motor rpm is 3200, 200 count quadutre encoder which yeilds 800 counts, i have allso reduced with pulleys 1 to 4 ratio; im useing .5 pitch ball screws (two turns per inch) need formula to figure steps per inch and what my max vel (steps per second) is
