Calculate Your Linear Power Needs

Posted September 15, 2007 6:00 AM

Specifying a linear motor requires some simple calculations. This video clip shows you how to consider payload mass, time, distance, and duty cycle. In addition to the important characteristics of the linear encoder, including V max and motor performance, it also covers characteristics such as power consumption. How do you specify motors?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Motors, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Motors today.
