Load Inertia

JW = W × 16 × ( Dp / 2 )2

= 44000 × 16 × ( 7.1 / 2)2 = 8.872e+6 [oz·in 2 ]

JDp = (1/8) Wp ×16 × Dp 2 n

= (1/8) × 0 × 16 × ( 7.1 )2 × 1 = 0 [oz·in 2 ]

JDp1 = ( 1 / 8 ) Wp1 × 16 × Dp1 2

= (1/8)× 0 × 16 × 13 2 = 0 [oz·in 2 ]

JDp2 = ( 1 / 8 ) Wp2 × 16 × Dp2 2

2
= (1/8)× 0 × 16 × 30 = 0 [oz·in 2 ]

JL = ( JW + JDp + JDp2 ) ( Dp1 / Dp2 )2 + JDp1

=( 8.872e+6 + 0 + 0 )×( 13 / 30 )2 + 0 = 1.666e+6 [oz·in 2 ]

Required Speed

Vm = V1 ( 60 /( π Dp )) ( Dp2 / Dp1 )

= 5 × ( 60 / (3.14 × 7.1 ))×( 30 / 13 ) = 31.04 [r/min]

Required Torque

T = ( Ta + TL ) ( Safety Factor )

=( 876.7 + 1.655e+4 )× 1.5 = 2.613e+4 [lb·in]

= 4.181e+5 [oz·in]

Acceleration Torque

Ta = ( JL / 386 ) ( Vm / ( 9.55 × t1 )) ( 1 / 16 )

= ( 1.666e+6 / 386 ) × ( 31.04 / ( 9.55 × 1 )) × ( 1 / 16 ) = 876.7 [lb·in]

= 1.403e+4 [oz·in]

Load Torque

F = FA + W ( sinα + μcosα )

= 0 + 44000 ( sin 0 + 0.22 × cos 0 ) = 9680 [lb ]

TL = ( F × Dp ) / (2 η × 0.01 ) ( Dp1 / Dp2 )

= ( 9680 × 7.1 )/(2× 90 × 0.01 ) × ( 13 / 30 ) = 1.655e+4 [lb·in]

= 2.647e+5 [oz·in]

Required Stopping Accuracy

Δθ = Δl ( 360° / π Dp ) ( Dp2 / Dp1 )

= 1 × ( 360 / (3.14 × 7.1 ) )×( 30 / 13 ) = 37.25 [deg]
