Re: PLEASE HELP! Lead Screw Ratios
We've got a ACME 1/2 inch lead screw with a 1/4 inch lift per revolution hooked up to a mini CIM/ Banebot P-80 12:1 . In addition the output of the transmission is hooked to the lead screw via a 24 tooth to 12 tooth chain/sprocket drive. The whole gear reduction is 6:1. The setup works great and can lift 34 inches in just under 20 sec. We tried a 775 motor (AM 0915 gearbox) and it was way too slow and almost wouldn't lift at all.
