from my experience - full step/ half step/ 1/4 step all seem to have problems with resonance (although 1/4 step is much reduced). Once you get into microstepping drives - that problems seems to go away. ie - we have never had a resonance problem with drives we have used that are at least 1000 steps per rev.
at least from our experience... sam On 04/30/2012 04:46 PM, Kent A.
