Xzero Raptor CNC build - linear rail and ballscrew selection

[Mattia]

Gotcha, slowly wrapping my head around it all. I would guess those 180watt motors (they also have a 200watt and 400watt variant) would probably work well enough for the Y and Z axes with their 16mm ball screws, or would it be a good idea to look for more power for all three? Once I get the bits and pieces a little more together I’ll take a few more pictures and sketch up some options for the X axis screw.

Also need to check the mounting holes as milled into the machine - I think they’re NEMA23, which fits the 180w but not the 200 or 400w models of those drives (6060 frame sizes). The 400w is also higher voltage (48 vs 36 nominal).

Nema 23 motors are 57mm and 60mm frame is the same as Nema 24 but in both cases, the hole centers are the same at around 47.14mm so unless the plates are machined for the outer frame size they should still fit.
