hello - sorry if this has been talked about before - i have a 3 1/2" dia. 5 threads/inch lead screw that is supported on 1 end mounted vertically lifting a 200# load -
i am having trouble sizing a motor/sprocket drive system to move the screw up & down 36" in 3-4 sec.s - this is an existing application but i have no experience in lead screw drives -
any help or formulas would be greatly appreciated - thank you
