Calculating inertia moment
Formula of mass and inertia moment
(1) Both centerlines of rotation and gravity are the same:
The following table includes formulas to calculate mass and inertia moment.
m: mass (kg);
Ix
,
Iy
,
Iz
: inertia moments which rotate around
x-
,
y-
,
z-
axes respectively (kg·m
2
)
G: distance from end face of gravity center
ρ : density (kg/m
3
)
Unit Length: m; Mass: kg; Inertia moment: kg·m
