    formula to figure size of stepper or servo motors

    Right now at this point this is my biggest concern. I know the size and weight of tables being moved and speeds play into the factoring but is there a formula to determine the require size of a stepper or servo motor ??

    Bob,
    another question in reference to the Mill formula on there. they refer to a "TPI screw" what does that stand for ? I was thinking turns per inch maybe is that correct?

    Robert,

    You are correct, TPI stands for Threads per Inch.
