A Comprehensible Guide to Servo Motor Sizing
by Wilfried Voss
The importance of servo motor sizing should never be underestimated. Properly sizing a motor not only leads to substantial cost savings—reducing energy consumption, purchasing and operating expenses, and downtime—but also enables engineers to design more efficient and reliable motion control systems. However, in an era where modern technology emphasizes tuning and programming, fundamental knowledge of mechanical systems and their impact on motor speed, inertia, and torque requirements appears to be diminishing.
Servo motor sizing involves a series of mathematical equations, which, although well-documented, are often presented without direct relevance to the sizing process. This book focuses specifically on servo motor sizing, providing a detailed exploration of inertia and torque calculations for standard mechanical components, as well as a comprehensive guide to the motor selection process.
