Formula calculation(Selection calculation formula for harmonic AC servo motor)


Turntable 1 — Moment of Inertia Formula

For a rectangular body rotating about the z-axis through its centroid, the moment of inertia is:

Iz = (1/12) · m · (a² + b²)

Where:

• m = 60 kg (mass)

• a = 860 mm = 0.86 m (length)

• b = 850 mm = 0.85 m (width)

Calculation steps:

1) Compute a² + b²

  a² + b² = (0.86)² + (0.85)² = 0.7396 + 0.7225 = 1.4621 m²

2) Substitute into the formula

  Iz = (1/12) × 60 × 1.4621 = 5 × 1.4621 = 7.3105 kg·m²

3) Rounded result

  Iz ≈ 7.31 kg·m²


Turntable 2 — Moment of Inertia Formula

Iz = (1/12) · m · (a² + b²)

Where:

• m = 13 kg (mass)

• a = 1000 mm = 1.0 m (length)

• b = 700 mm = 0.7 m (width)

Calculation steps:

1) Compute a² + b²

  a² + b² = (1.0)² + (0.7)² = 1.0 + 0.49 = 1.49 m²

2) Substitute into the formula

  Iz = (1/12) × 13 × 1.49 = (13/12) × 1.49 ≈ 1.614 kg·m²

3) Rounded result

  Iz ≈ 1.61 kg·m²


Turntable 3 — Moment of Inertia Formula

Iz = (1/12) · m · (a² + b²)

Calculation steps:

1) Compute a² + b²

  a² + b² = (1.0)² + (0.7)² = 1.0 + 0.49 = 1.49 m²

2) Substitute into the formula

  Iz = (1/12) × 120 × 1.49 = 10 × 1.49 = 14.9 kg·m²

Final result:

  Iz = 14.9 kg·m²
