I am planning to build a X-Y axis linear actuator, it is somehow similar to CNC router, but in 2D. The actuator I want to build looks like this picture taken from the Internet:
I have bought a some parts and arrived yesterday, including:
- Nema 24 Stepper (VEXTA PK566HNAW-A1)
- slide rail and block (approx 3 kg per pair)
- Lead screw and nuts (Instead of ball screw, due to lack of cost)
The stepper motor specification:
I did research on the stepper motor and found nothing about the torque values. My concern is that, will this motor able to rotate smoothly at X axis given the load (Y axis) weights at approximately 7kg or lesser? I have attached another rough sketch of actuator. PS: The stepper comes with its own driver SD5128 which seems to be a full step driver (0.72 deg.).
I am not sure what to do now. Should I go for a higher torque motor (Sanyo Denki 103H7126-2542)?
Any advice is appreciated.
