What diameter is the screw, and how much weight are you moving?
| | |
I have a 6 foot 2 tpi w/4starts lead screw what would be the best size stepper motors to use?I would like to use a xylotex bipolar controller
@24 volts with 286 oz/in motors.I have a FET-3 with 150 oz/in @12 volts at the moment but i do not think it will cut the mustard . What do you guys think? I would like to get it to run between 20ipm and 100ipm.
Thanks Jim

with the 1/2 -10 5 start i'm using a xylo and 276 oz-in motors for fun i can move at about 350 ipm so shouldn't be a prob for the biggest part i don't really go over 150 ipm but the speed is there and possable
3/8-8 2tpi 4 starts.
You didn't say how much weight you were moving, but they should work OK. If your not moving a lot of weight, they should give you a LOT of speed.

The X-axis will be pushing about 30 lbs.Also it is for a plasma cnc so that is all the load that will be on that axis.
