Motor Size Selection
Example:
A conveyor belt is connected a motor through a belt-pulley
mechanism to transfer a load at a predefined maximum speed
as shown in the following figure. The system specifications are
listed in Table 1. For this system, answer the following
questions:
1. Generate and draw the proposed speed and acceleration
profiles.
2.
Calculate the system total inertia (referred to the motor side).
3. Calculate the required maximum motor torque.
4. Calculate the required rated torque.
5.
6.
Draw the load Speed-Torque curve.
Select the best motor type for this application.
7. Select the best motor model from Table 2.
