How to Calculate the Linear Displacement per Encoder Count
For the Z8 series motors, there are 512 encoder counts per revolution of the motor.
The output shaft of the motor goes into a 67.49:1 planetary gear head. This requires the
motor to rotate 67.49 times to rotate the 1.0 mm pitch lead screw once (i.e. advance the
position by 1.0 mm).
To calculate the linear displacement of the actuator per encoder count:
512 x 67.49 = 34,555 encoder counts per revolution of the lead screw
Linear displacement of the lead screw per encoder count is:
1.0 mm / 34,555 counts = 2.9 x 10
