How to select stepper motor for a Z-axis application with Ballscrew

[QUOTE="Tom.G, post: 6544910, member: 581973"] Maybe. You have calculated the Running Torque to move the load. You should also consider the Detent Torque, if any (not all stepper designs have any), and the Holding Torque. Unless you plan to keep the motor energized to hold the load, it is the Detent Torque that will keep the load where you put it. A quick explanation is at: [URL]https://www.motioncontroltips.com/faq-whats-the-difference-between-detent-torque-and-holding-torque/[/URL] (above found with: [URL]https://www.google.com/search?&q=stepper+motor+holding+torque[/URL]) Cheers, Tom [/QUOTE]
