Gear Drive Motor Mass Moment of Inertia Equation:
Use these equations and calculator to determine the Inertia of a gear drive system. For any change in rotation speed, the load inertia will reflect back through the gears to the motor.
Gear Drive System
Equation:
Motor Speed
or
Motor Torque:
Reflected Load Inertia
Total Inertia realized at Motor:
Where:
Sm = | Motor Speed, rpm |
Sl = | Load Speed, rpm |
Nl = | Number teeth on load gear |
Nm = | Number teeth on motor gear |
N = | Gear Ratio |
Tm = | Torque of Motor, lb-in |
Tl = | Torque of Load, lb-in |
e = | Efficiency |
Jl = | Load Inertia, lb-in.-sec2 |
Jm = | Drive Motor Inertia, lb-in.-sec2 |
Jr = | Reflected Load inertia, lb-in.-sec2 |
Jt = | Total Inertia, lb-in.-sec2 |
