On the spindles of machine tools, it is important to maintain a constant
turning speed of the spindle. To control this speed, the drive applies torque
to the load according to the characteristics of this load as well as to the
adjusted accelerations and decelerations.
Procedure to calculated the needed motor power:
1. Depending on the characteristics of the load, determine the rated values
of the needed power (in continuous cycle, instantly and periodically).
2. Increase the value of that needed power, considering the efficiency of
the power transmission and load dispersion.
3. Select the drive that offers the current needed to govern the motor in all
duty cycles for that machine.
Power demanded from a motor for a particular load
To determine the needed motor power, use the following formula:
P MOTOR
The power of the motor must be greater than the sum of the power required
by the load and the power required by the machine's accelerations and
decelerations.

The rated power of the drive will be the one

Power required by the load
The power demanded from an asynchronous spindle motor in a turning or
machining center is determined by the cutting power.
A good cutting process required the asynchronous spindle motor to be
working at constant power and with a power range between 1:3 and 1:5.
The power values used for a cutting operation on a lathe, mill or machining
center with a drill are calculated using the following formulas.
For a more accurate calculation of the power required, one must bear in
mind different factors such as cutting oil, material, shape of the tools,
hardness of the material machined, etc.
