To accelerate the above rotational object, the kinetic energy will be increased; to decelerate the object,
the kinetic energy must be discharged. The torque required for acceleration and deceleration can be
expressed as follows:

This way, the mechanical moment of inertia is an important element in the acceleration and
deceleration. First, calculation method of moment of inertia is described, then those for acceleration
and deceleration time are explained.
[ 1 ] Calculation of moment of inertia
For an object that rotates around the shaft, virtually divide the object into small segments and square
the distance from the shaft to each segment. Then, sum the squares of the distances and the masses of
the segments to calculate the moment of inertia.

The following describes equations to calculate moment of inertia having different shaped loads or load
systems.
(1) Hollow cylinder and solid cylinder
The common shape of a rotating body is hollow cylinder. The moment of inertia J (kg⋅m
hollow cylinder center axis can be calculated as follows, where the outer and inner diameters are D
and D [m] and total mass is W [kg] in Figure 3.8.
