stepper motor for 1200 kg linear "force"
Hi all,
For a project I need to bring over a linear force of 1200 kg onto a steel rod of about 10 mm. I would like to have some guidance in how I could do this with a stepper motor. How 'heavy' does this motor have to be ? I most powerful ones I've found have 4nm torque, but I have no clue if this would be enough... Also, I probably will need a microstepper in between to have bigger resolution. Any suggestions are welcome.
cheers,
Kirsten
