It is recommended to use the grinding ball screw. Rolling ball screw has so large backlash that it
may not move properly.
[ 2 ] Gear sliding resistance
Table 2-3 shows gear transmission efficiency
Use gear of which transmission efficiency is 98% or more except for skew gears. In this case,
sliding resistance of gear (friction torque) can be disregarded.
