How's this for Power.......

According to Aerotech's motor calc spreadsheet I will have the
following speed for travel: 142 in/sec. I know this is overkill and
I certainly won't start out at anything close to it, but it is kinda
cool to see the power of these motors. So, it will take 2.2 seconds
for 30" of travel. With this speed the motors are at 31% duty cycle.

Some of the input variables are:
Load – 200lb
Ballscrew lead - .200
Mech eff – 90%
Accel time - .1 sec
Decel time - .1 sec
Thrust force – 1,000 lbs

The motors are Aerotech brushless servo BM800's which I recently
purchased for $153 each, not bad I think. I also bought the Aerotech
BA20-160 drives to go with them. Everything came with the factory
mil spec cables and all the manuals too. I thought about getting the
U500 controller but it's the base model which doesn't have circular
interpolation. I like the idea of using something like Mach1 for the
controller anyways. What do ya guys think?
