Hi Aaron, In your control box, your step and direction have to be kept well away from all your drive power and motor cables. Ghost step and direction signals can be INDUCED in your step and direction lines if the motor or drive power cables run parallel to them. I would try to run

I am building CNC tool grinder. The feed for tool grinder should be from 0.00025 to 0.001 of the inch per minute. The servo motor must perform at this feed perfect to make a good grinding job. I will use direct drive and my ball screw has 5 pitch per inch. So talking in degrees, 5 times 360 =

Hi Aram I don't think it's the diameter that's important (unless the forces on the screw will be very high). The important specs have to do with screw pitch error, preload on the ballnut, and also the end bearings. A good screw will have maybe 0.001 error over 1 foot, the best I saw with a
