Tangent Drive Motor Mass Moment of Inertia Equation
Use these equations to determine the Inertia of a tangent drive system. Tangent drive may be the following: Timing belt and pulley, Chain and sprocket, rack and pinion, etc...
Tangent Drive System
Conveyor System
Equation:
Motor Speed:
Load Torque:
Friction Torque:
Load Inertia:
Total Inertia
Where:
Sm = | Motor Speed, rpm |
Vl = | Load Speed, rpm |
R = | Radius, in |
Fl = | Load Force, lb |
Tf = | Friction Torque, in-lb |
Ff = | Friction Force, lb |
Tl = | Torque of Load, lb-in |
Jl = | Load Inertia, lb-in.-sec2 |
Wlb = | Weight of load plus belt, lb |
g = | Gravitational constant, 386 in./sec2 |
Jp1 = | Pulley Inertia, lb-in.-sec2 |
Jp2 = | Pulley Mass Moment of inertia, lb-in.-sec2 |
Jm = | Motor Mass Moment of inertia, lb-in.-sec2 |
Jt = | Total Mass Moment of Inertia, lb-in.-sec2 |
