PLEASE HELP! Lead Screw Ratios
I normally do not abuse the caps lock button, but there is an actual need for it this time. We are currently trying to lift our robot with a lead screw and would like some advice. We have two ideas currently, but we are by no means committed to either. If anyone can help, which is better a 2 start lead screw with a 5:1 gear ratio tough box or a 4 start lead screw with a 12.75:1 gear ratio tough box? Any other ideas would be most welcome and once again PLEASE HELP! (I am truly sorry for all caps) Please either reply to the thread or e-mail me at dbarker (at) psdschools (dot) org. Thank you!
