    high-precision rotary positioning

    Hi There, I'm designing a high-resolution positioning machine. It has to move a load between 0.001 deg/sec (in fine mode) to 30 deg/sec, and position repeatability of +/- 0.001 deg. Max torque driving the load is 200 Nm. Backlash & hysteresis are concerns. The movement range is nearly 360...
