This section uses a ball screw mechanism as an example to illustrate the motor selection
procedure.
The following table lists the data related to the ball screw mechanism and operation pattern.

According to the above calculated speed, torque, and inertia ratio, you are recommended
to select 1000 W motors, i.e. 1FL6062.
