i have a 1605 ball screw that 5 mm pitch . So on my z axis it almost 5 turns per inch . But i believe 5 mm pitch moves like .984 inch 5 turns
any one know what turn ratio sets at with a 5 mm pitch ball screw this on z axis if it moves .984 inch 5 turns

Re: Ball screw ratio
a direct drive (motor to screw connection) with a 5 mm pitch ballscrew = 5.08 turns per inch

Re: Ball screw ratio
Or just divide the metric pitch by 25.4 and then take the reciprocal (the unused 1/x key on your calculator).
1 = 5.08
5mm / 25.4
1 = 5.08
5mm / 25.4
Cheers,

Confidence is the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
I have CDO. It's like OCD, but the letters are where they should be.
