I have customers who uses this method to get faster motion, but normally would use a servo motor and specific gearing that is only for this type of application.
Unless you get the parts on ebay, it will cost a few hundred just for the gearing.
Also fixing both ends of the ball screw offer similar results (Within about 25%)

Sorry to hijack your tread :naughty:
