I don't remember the details but remember a size 34 stepper on the bench here running somewhat above 3k rpm. It required low accel but you could control it getting up to speed. Motor inertia made it really difficult to slow down while maintaining position -- impossible to do any useful work

Andy and Sebastian Thanks for the confirmation of my own feelings of the performance of a stepper motor at high speed. The motor was run in position control. Sometimes one hears of motors being run at 3000 rpm and even more. I just wonder how that can be done - higher drive voltage? Rudy
