| Bob, again thanks for figuring out how strong my motors are. What does that equate to in real life. I have a 2 start acme screw with a delrin antibacklash nut, so with your calculations I have 95 lbs. of thrust force. Now my z axis is fairly heavy about 35 lbs. including router (probably less). With the stepper motor attached I can raise and lower the axis with my thumb and index finger, but it's very tough, not binding but just weight, but that includes moving the stepper and that's very hard to move anyway. So do you think I'm safe in terms of the motor operating the z axis without too much stress? I know this is very unscientific, but if you have a better suggestion on how to measure it...  |
