Looking at the 18v did the calcs we will use two of these on 8tpi lead screws. Got the torque and speed figured out even with voltage drop. Now we just need to figure out how to couple the lead screw to the motor. We will can up a coupler once we know how to effectively attach it. Found this online and if you click on the model numbers you get a real cool interactive torque, voltage, rpm, efficiency calculator.

Obviously the free speed will not be th eloaded speed. We plan to load the motor with about 30 - 40 oz/inch of torque.
