lead screw help
does anyone know anything about lead screws?
what kind of motor would i need to power this thing?

and how do i hook it up? I'm hoping to keep costs down so if powering this thing is too much i may end up scrapping it and going with option b
thanks

Scott, motor size depends on what your trying to move with it. I would say some type of gear reduction or low rpm motor to lessen the drag on the motor. As far as a coupler you could gring a flat spot on one side so it's D shaped like most motor shafts and use a set screw. Graingers should have everything you need.
