Steps per Inch
by trwalters001 » Mon Dec 06, 2010 3:20 am
Hi All,
How is steps per inch calculated when toothed belts are used?
I have the recommended MXL (.080 pitch) pulleys and belt material. The pulleys have a pitch diameter of .509".
I'm looking at the FSE controller and the requirement for 1000 steps/inch.
How do I determine how I have to gear things to get the required steps/inch?
TIA,
Tim

It has to do with teeth per rev, not diameter. Look at my build instructions on the drawings page. There is an example.
