In designing the mechanical equipment system, the following shoud be examined as required.
(a) Reduction gear ratio
Use near the rated speed of motor is recommended where possible.
(b) Pre-load torque
When applying a pre-load to screw, load torque increases.
(c) Holding torque at vertical drive.
At stop of a vertical-feed load machine, energized-motor has a holding torque unless an external-braking device is used.
(d) Mechanical efficiency
(e) Rough estimated mechanical-coefficients
(i) Friction coefficient μ
Application
Rail and iron wheel (crane traveling, traverse
motion, traveling carriage)
Linear way
Linear pole slide unit
Roller system
(2) Model type selection determination
