pushing power of Steppers?

How do Rick.

Basically I don't want to give too much away on this(Chinese might be lookin? :heehee:) but the pushing weight will be in the region of 8 maybe 9 kilos,thats about the weight of 4.5 bags of sugar? but there will be some slight resistance in terms of down force from the intended item being pushed up.

Well all you must remember is Kg is a measure of weight and a newton is a measure of force (I think lol) but if you convert the 9Kg to 9Kgf this will give about 88.25 newtons. if that helps at all lol

Youve just got to go with force measurements thats why i used the torque rench as it gets a bit complicated if you start trying to convert force over to weight and visa versa i suppose thats why newtons measure is still in use today...

I used to make things until a very nice chap from Kowloon 'phoned and offered to make them for me. It's wonderful, but there is a learning curve.

I also got cloned in Taiwan. You know when they are going to clone you, terribly polite, you get a friendly email enquiring about your patents. Hit my Asian sales for six but I'm still going.

Web sales depend on web forums talking about you, last weekend I got a sudden rush of orders from Slovakia which was unexpected.

Produce a quality product then strive to improve it

Good luck.
