I could only run a reduced setup on one axis, the other two need to be direct drive. Looks like steppers might have to do it...Can you run steppers with 320's?

Like 2 or 3 : 1. Steppers will work without reduction because all of their torque is achieved at hold and low RPM. Servos differ in that their torque is achieved at higher RPM's. Do a "google" for "Stepper versus Servo comparison". There is a graph that will show each types torque characteristics. > > Ron > > kadeshan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Jon, > I am using gecko 320's and a 36v 25 amp power supply.
