The linear you have in the photo should work fine, you are doing something wrong with your settings. (IMHO) Looks like a 5mm pitch so example 
Say your DIP on the microstep driver is 6400
Say your max travel is 24" so even number 600mm.
Say your screw is 5mm pitch
So 6400 steps move 5mm. 768,000 move 600 mm
Make your circumference 600mm, steps per 360 768,000, slice whatever 25mm?
If LB won’t allow 6 digits in the steps per 360 field have to set DIPs for something smaller.
Not at home now so I can’t check this maybe Im missing something.
