[1] Load torque during constant speed running
[1] General equation
The frictional force acting on a horizontally moved load must be calculated. Calculation for driving a load
along a straight line with the motor is shown below.
Where the force to move a load linearly at constant speed Ï… (m/s) is F (N) and the motor speed for driving
this is N
M
(r/min), the required motor output torque Ï„

(N·m) is as follows:

When the inverter brakes the motor, efficiency works inversely, so the required motor torque Ï„

around the motor shaft.
The value F (N) in the above equations depends on the load type.

îš„ Moving a load horizontally
A simplified mechanical configuration is assumed as shown in Figure 10.1-7. If the mass of the carrier
table is W
0
(kg), the load is W (kg), and the friction coefficient of the ball screw is μ, then the friction force F
(N) is expressed as follows, which is equal to a required force for driving the load:
F = (W
0
+ W) • g • μ (N) (10.3)
where, g is the gravity acceleration (≈ 9.8 (m/s
2
)).
Then, the driving torque around the motor shaft is expressed as follows:
