5.14.1 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:
Electronic gear ratio
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.
