    The gantry will weigh at a guesstimate 30kg and will have two 3.1Nm motors, direct driving it.

    This might work better as it keeps the motor rpm way down in the high torque area.

    Any chance you could illustrate the maths needed for the acceleration estimates???
    2pi/.05339 gives you a 117.68 advantage over a 1m pulley

    So 2 x 3.1 x 117.68 = 730N

    So a 30kg gantry will accelerate at 730/30 = 24 m/s/s about 2.4G on a good day with a following wind.

    Assuming I haven't totally cocked up, someone should check this
