When to choose 1605
Choose 1605 when thrust, low-speed smoothness, positioning resolution, or conservative load is more important. Small CNC machines, router Z axes, fixture adjustment, and general positioning often start with 1605.
When to choose 1610
Choose 1610 when higher linear speed, longer travel, or cycle time is more important. With higher speed, confirm motor torque, support method, critical speed, and end machining fit.
- Confirm whether the model is fixed as 1605 or 1610.
- Describe the axis: X, Y, Z, or adjustment axis.
- Provide travel, speed, load, and mounting method.
- Attach support model or end drawing if end machining is required.
Critical speed check
At higher leads and longer spans, the screw's critical (whirling) speed limits how fast it can safely rotate. For a 1610 on a long axis, check the unsupported span, end fixing (fixed-fixed, fixed-supported, and so on), and the resulting critical speed against your target rpm before ordering. A 1605 with a short span usually has no such constraint.
