idea for linear belt drive

**BillTodd** · 19-01-2010

That is a very good idea (wished I'd thought of it :)) Reminds me of Mike Everman's servo belt idea (worth reading for belt info)

You'll probably need to gear down the drive from the stepper/servo to the drive belt to get the desired resolution. And, make sure the belt you choose has sufficient tooth strength to put up with the dynamic load.

I like it .
