The moment of inertia of the load is a key measure for sizing and tuning servomotors. Traditional sizing methods use mathematical equations to accurately estimate the inertia of the load based on ...

The optimal size for a clutch or brake is determined by three things: Required torque, thermal horsepower per engagement, and average required thermal horsepower. Here, we'll discuss the first, ...

Engineers are increasingly required to specify linear motion systems capable of handling heavier payloads at higher operating speeds, without compromising precision, reliability or service life, ...

Selecting the right rotary index table is one of the most critical decisions in automated system design. From ultra-light inertia loads to systems handling hundreds of thousands of kg·m², indexers are ...
