  • Page 50: Figure B.1: Mdrive23 Torque-Speed Curve

    Nominal Output Torque Calculate the nominal output torque using the torque values from the MDrive’s Speed/Torque Tables. Nominal output torque (T ) is the actual torque generated at the Planetary Gearbox output shaft which includes reduction ratio (i), gear efficiency (η) and the safety factor (s ) for the MDrive.

  • Page 51: Table B.1: Planetary Gearbox Operating Factor

    Shock Load Output Torque The nominal output torque (T ) is the actual working torque the Planetary Gearbox will generate. The shock load output torque (T ) is the additional torque that can be generated by starting and stopping with no acceleration ramps, payloads, inertia and directional changes. Although the nominal output torque (T ) of the Planetary Gearbox is accurately calculated, shock loads can greatly increase the dy- namic torque on the Planetary Gearbox.

  • Page 52: System Inertia

    System Inertia System inertia must be included in the selection of an MDrive and Planetary Gearbox. Inertia is the resistance an object has relative to changes in velocity. Inertia must be calculated and matched to the motor inertia. The Planetary Gearbox ratio plays an important role in matching system inertia to motor inertia. There are many variable factors that affect the inertia.
