My question is: how do I set up the calculation to determine the size of
stepper I need assuming negligible friction in the guide rails (linear ways)
and screw (ballscrew) and allowing a decent margin of safety.



Marcus: Superior Electric has (had?) a pretty good little manual about
stepper applications which can help with such. Even their stepper catalog has
some useful data in addition to motor-specs.

Here are a couple of Superior links. I don't recall WHO owns them, now.
