And I assume one would use gearing to increase both precision and torque if driving at high speeds.? Ultimately its power in power out for any motor. 36w less losses max in his particular case. Less

PS. The "diode fix" does nothing for the 42B, not surprising given the probable cause. Ant.

Re: Step #1 Encoder

Indeed John, I cant say at what torque, that's all he wrote. Depends on whether you use microsteps. Of course a neema 23 might be more suitable. Just looking at the principle. Ant?

Re: Step #1 Encoder

We have investigated the cheaper MKS closed loop encoder and determined it's actually more precise than the MisfitTech more expensive one. Despite having a 12 bit rather than a 14 bit encoder. Smaller

Sorry for the delay Ralph. Been busy. They are widely available on eBay or Alibaba. It's the TMCxxxx family of stepper stick drivers. There are variations amongst the implementations so the two models

Re: MPG & Mach4

The middle wheel is a DRO knob. Put your finger in the depression and it moves the selected axis at the step interval distance. The next outer knob is spring loaded to center and behaves like the

Re: MPG & Mach4

John, Is the round wheel spring loaded? In other words, does it have a center that it returns to? Is the center wheel set up like a mechanical hand wheel on the lathe or mill, or does it move the axis

I will be interested to hear how you get on with the Clough42 system. I totally agree that it the expenditure on mechanics, drives, steppers and Power supplies is the major part of a system. Again
