Term |
Explanation |
|---|---|
|
Load inertia |
The total moment of inertia which is closer to the load than the given point on the shaft (sum of moments of inertia from the mechanics and from device characteristics). |
|
Motor inertia |
The total moment of inertia which is closer to the motor than the given point on the shaft (sum of moments of inertia from the mechanics and from device characteristics). |
|
Inertia ratio |
The ratio of load inertia and motor inertia (load inertia divided by motor inertia). |
