Has anyone used these? I’m occasionally skipping steps and I think one of the reasons is becuse my motors are just direct driving rack and pinion. Fitting these on my table would be pretty straight forward. I know that gear reduction has backlash, I also think there are settings to compensate for it in Mach 3 but I’m not sure if this will add a bunch of accuracy issues into my system
If these don’t work well, is there a belt reduction you guys recommend? Is 4:1 the right ratio?

Re: Planetary gear reduction?
Or maybe one of these? I could add these to my current motors

Re: Planetary gear reduction?
check your wiring from your breakout board to your drives

pdf page 40, section 4.4.3
drives work best if they are getting a nice chunky step.
