I would like to know why one would choose to use a step motor over another technology i.e. DC servomotor, Brushless DC servomotor, etc. My understanding of the advantage of a step motor (dated by about 25 years) was the ease of controlling motion/position without shaft position feedback. When...
You can put the data on another sheet (see the second example I sent). You have to type the area because the data validation will not let you choose another sheet.
sreid,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did mean a pair of angular contact ball bearings. I was afraid that the oscillation would be a problem for lubrication. I will investigate the Krytox grease.
I did consider jeweled bearings. I made an assumption that the radial play would be unacceptable...
How about a bearing system that will be expected to last a minimum of 25 years under the following conditions:
•Preloaded ball bearings
•Bearing ID will be 2mm with typical OD for this size (~6mm)
•Radial load on bearing = 0 to 5 grams (depending on orientation during operation)
•Axial load...
