Jerry please keep us informed of your project. I have a SMAC ( not SMC) thats rated 5G's but only 15mm stroke and 1um renishaw scale ( also ebay find) It uses a voice coil to get the speed and accel, no screw involved. The acceleration we're playing with makes control difficult. the counts are just ... fast! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIAtV84g-xU i am not affiliated
