I need basically the same thing but with a 1:15ish ratio. At 1/8th stepping its a great speed with nice smooth motion. a 1:8ish would work too, just play with the speed or drop to 1/16th steps. Can you get something like that?
That 5.18 looks pretty interesting. I’ll have to check dimensions and shaft clearances etc. Thanks for pointing that one out, I completely missed it somehow. I’d prefer a faster output RPM and more microsteps so I can get the same speed with smoother running. Going with the higher ratios means fewer microsteps and more vibration/noise.
