I think we're saying the same thing. Yes, of course it's possible. In fact, if the endpoints were fixed, pneumatics make it trivial and would be the better choice. But variable endpoints in both directions, with variable speed, make it far too complex to consider (IMHO).
...And if #23 steppers aren't strong enough, they come in several larger sizes.
