(2) When center of revolution and line of center of gravity do not match
Moment of inertia when axis of center of gravity and axis of revolution of an inertia field do not match is
calculated by the following formula.
I: Moment of inertia when axis of center of gravity and axis of
revolution do not match (kgm
2
)
Ig: Moment of inertia when axis of center of gravity and axis of
revolution match (kgm
2
)
Calculated by formula shown in (1) in accordance with shape.
m: Mass (kg)
F: Distance between axis of revolution and axis of center of gravity (m)
(3) Moment of inertia of linear motion object
The moment of inertia converted into an RSF-supermini actuator axis of a linear motion object driven
by a screw is calculated by the following formula.
I: Moment of inertia converted into actuator axis of a linear motion object (kgm
2
)
m: Mass (kg)
P: Amount of linear movement per revolution of actuator (m/rev)
