(5) The figure on the right shows the points of operation determined by the effective torque and
average rotational speed calculated above, plotted on the graph of operable range of HMAC08,
exceeding the continuous motion range. The conclusion is that this motor cannot be operated
continuously under these conditions. Accordingly,

etc., must be reevaluated.
The following formula is a modified version
of the formula for effective torque. By
applying the value of allowable continuous
torque to T
m
in this formula, the allowable
cycle time can be calculated.

= 1.19 s
Based on the result, setting the cycle time to 1.2 seconds or more to provide a longer stop time
gives T
m
= 0.52 Nm or less, thereby permitting continuous operation within the rated torque.

The aforementioned continuous motion range represents an allowable range where the
motor installed on a specified aluminum radiation plate is operated under natural air
cooling. If the radiation area of the mounting member is small or heat conduction of the
material is poor, adjust the operating conditions to keep the rise in the motor's ambient
temperature to 40 K or less as a guide.
