Hello folks,
I am facing some issues regarding a stepper motor drive. The stepper
motor I have is a 20KG 12V DC L/R Full step driven one. I need it to
drive a Lead screw which eventually builds up pressures of the likes
of 400Kg cm in a cylinder.
I have attached a gear box of ratio 12:1 to the stepper and tried
boosting the torque. With the direct coupling the pressure used to
reach around 100-150 Kg cm but even with the gearbox which I presume
would boost the torque by a factor of 12 the pressure fails to rise
above 200.
And the stepper slips if I try to run it at high RPMs (15RPM ) even
without any load.
What can I do to find a solution to these 2 problems? What could be
going wrong in this whole exercise?
Thanking you in anticipation.
Regards,
Chetan.
