    Will two Nema23 23HS2442 steppers move 120kg gantry?

    Hey guys as i post in other thread i was very bad experience with my builds last one used thin steel and get a lot of vibrations, now im building a new machine, but think that Y Gantry are very heavy now i measure the steel that i cut i get like 70kg for the Y Gantry (whithout the hiwin rails, router and ballscrews).

    I have some AM882 that support 70V and am542 but just support 36V.


    Think that 2 of these motors witht the AM882 can move close to 120-130KG? or recommend me to make an fixed machine?

    Thanks in advance.

    How do you plan on moving it?
    How fast do you want to move it?
    How quickly do you want to accelerate?

    Thanks for your time!

    Well i have 1610 ballscrews, will use hiwin rails.
    i really dont care about speed right now. i will build another machine that run faster i want to use this one just as hobby and to make my own parts for another machine (with less weight(=)

    I have 2x 380oz.in (I think 2.8 inductance, at 48v) steppers moving a >100kg gantry at 20m/min (rapids) using 15mm pitch ball screws.

    Cuts at 6m/min - have not tried faster.
