Are these the only standard sizes, or other sizes also used?
I now have a feeling that the control (Fanuc) assumes either 2''/.5" or 50mm/10mm depending on a parameter. Ballscrew of no other size can be used. am I correct?
Typically, how much angular movement of the ballscrew is caused by a single electrical pulse? It has to be dependent on several factors including gear ratio. I want to know typical minimum and maximum values.
I am fighting to understand what a least command increment is, and how is it different from least input increment.
