Re: Stepper motor speeds

Hi Marv,

get on the webpage and check post 45509.

that is the best way to start with the engineering and math that will
let you arrive at your answer.

Steppers are much easier to use, and have a simple work envelope.

Servo's offer some pretty strong motors for a smaller space.

With your note about not having any $$ involved, I think that most
stepper guys want to move up to servo's and I have not heard of any
servo guys trying to move to steppers. Just my 2 cent observation.
