For a load running horizontally
Assume a carrier table driven by a motor as shown in Figure 3.7. If the table speed is υ (m/s) when the
motor speed is N
(r/min), then an equivalent distance from the shaft is equal to 60·υ / (2π·N
M
The moment of inertia of the table and load to the shaft is calculated as follows:

In the above equation, generally output torque τM is negative and load torque τL is positive. So,
deceleration time becomes shorter.
