Hi Folks,
I have two different types of steppers on my machine.
Two are identical ( Motion Technologies N20 3451) and the literature says they have 200 Steps per revolution. The third Motor I bought off of EBAY ( it is a RHT34 - 1200 - Rex Technologies) and am not aware of the steps per revolution, but have sent the manufacturer an email requesting it.
I am using 2 start 1/2" - 10 lead screws, (5 turns per inch) with Dumpster CNC anti backlash nuts, and 201 Geckos ( which I bought new so I assume they were factory set at 10 Micro step) .
If I use the utility in Mach to determine steps for an inch, it says I need to set the steps to 9753.147828 for the two MT motors. If I measure the distance on the table, It does seem close, but It's not exact.
The numbers seem huge but If I read other posts right, I should be able to calculate it on my own like this: 200( steps per rev) X 10(Drive Microsteps) = 2000 X 5 ( to get to the inch) = 10,000... right?
The other motor seems to be around 1024... If anyone has any data on that motor it would be appreciated!
Thanks in Advance,
Pete
