Re: Connect to Shaft of RS 775 Motor
I might be confused, but it sounds like you're attaching the motor directly to a lead screw?

If this is the case, I would reconsider. Running most lead screws at > 1000 rpm is probably not a good idea. Even fine threaded screws will move extremely rapidly at this speed, if they have enough torque to even turn the screw. This is the perfect case for using a gearbox, such as a VersaPlanetary from VEX or a P60 from Banebots.
