Example 1
Select an actuator that best suits the following operating conditions:
• Rotation speed: 100 r/min
• Load inertia moment: 0.04 kg·m
2
• Since the load mechanism is mainly inertia, the load torque is negligibly small.
1
After applying these conditions to the graph in [2-1], FHA-11C-50 is tentatively selected.

From the rated table in [1-4], the following values are obtained: J
A
= 0.017 kg·m

,
T
M
= 8.3 N·m. K
T
= 6.6 N·m/A, I
M
= 1.6A.
3
Based on the above formula, the actuator's friction torque TF is calculated as 6.6 x
1.6 - 8.3 = 2.3 N·m.
4
Therefore, the acceleration time and deceleration time can be obtained as follows
from the above formulas:
t
a
= (0.017 + 0.04) x 2 x
π
/ 60 x 100 / 8.3 = 0.072 s
t
d
= (0.017 + 0.04) x 2 x
π
/ 60 x 100 / (8.3 + 2 x 2.3) = 0.046 s
5
If the calculated acceleration/deceleration times are too long, correct the situation by:
• Reducing moment of inertia of load
• Selecting an actuator with a larger frame size
