9.6 Calculate pulse equivalent
9.6.1 Stepper driver
1. linear axis Unit: pul/mm
Formula = pulses per revolution / distance per revolution
Pulses per revolution formula: (360 °/stepper angle)* Driver subdivision
Some stepper drivers mark pulse number directly.
Distance/r formula:
► Screw drive = screw pitch*mechanical transmission ratio
► Rack(straight)drive = rack module*gear teeth number*π*mechanical transmission ratio
► Rack(helical)drive = rack module*gear teeth number*π*mechanical transmission ratio/cos
(helical angle)
► Pulley&belt drive = π*pulley diameter*mechanical transmission ratio

Screw pitch(above picture): The distance that the nut moves when the ball screw makes one
rotation.
Transmission ratio: The speed ratio or angular velocity ratio of the capstan and the driven wheel.
