Stepper motors Z axis move very very slow

Hello all ,

I have a slight problem with my stepper motors of the z axis , they turn very very very slow when the axis goes down or up ( it takes 8 sec to move 10mm ) . There's no banding in the rod's , when i connect the motors on the x and y connections they work just fine . I just upgraded to these lead screws and all worked fine before , i have replaced the stepper driver but that did not help , i checked my configuration.h file but i cant see it there .Sorry for my english but i hope some one can help me out here . I post my configuration.h file to . I hope it is not the ramps board.

Try Z feedrate to 15 and Z acceleration to 800

If you change them in config, after uploading firmware send to printer
M502
M500

to update the eeprom

Thanks for the advice Obewan , i wil try that tomorrow.

...didn't know it was possible to use decimals for max. speed? I had to use 2 mm/s for my i3 z-axis, because 3mm wasn't reliably working.

Yes decimals work , i had no problem with that . I think my ramps is the problem. When i set max feedrate like x axis it does not make a diverence but when i connect it to x axis they work fine so the motors are good.
