5.16.1 Electronic Gear Ratio Settings
Calculating the Settings for the Electronic Gear Ratio
Rotary Servomotors
If the gear ratio between the Servomotor shaft and the load is given as n/m, where n is the
number of load rotations for m Servomotor shaft rotations, the settings for the electronic gear
ratio can be calculated as follows:

Encoder Resolution
You can check the encoder resolution in the Servomotor model number.

Linear Servomotors
You can calculate the settings for the electronic gear ratio with the following equation:
When Not Using a Serial Converter Unit
Use the following formula if the linear encoder and SERVOPACK are connected directly or if a
linear encoder that does not require a Serial Converter Unit is used.
