A stepping motor with 240 step angles is coupled to a leadscrew through a gear reduction of 5:1 (5 rotations of the motor for each rotation of the leadscrew). The leadscrew has 6 threads/in. The worktable driven by the leadscrew must move a distance = 10.00 in at a feed rate of 30.0 in/min. Determine: Number of pulses required to move the table, and The required motor speed and pulse rate to achieve the desired table speed

Question

A stepping motor with 240 step angles is coupled to a leadscrew through a gear reduction of 5:1 (5 rotations of the motor for each rotation of the leadscrew). The leadscrew has 6 threads/in. The worktable driven by the leadscrew must move a distance = 10.00 in at a feed rate of 30.0 in/min. Determine:

  1. Number of pulses required to move the table, and
  2. The required motor speed and pulse rate to achieve the desired table speed.
