Configuring the motor

5.1 Procedure

Requirements

Your choice of torque motor depends on the following factors:

● The peak and continuous torque required for the application

● The required speed and angular acceleration

● The installation space available

● The required/possible drive arrangement

(single/parallel operation)

● The required cooling method

Procedure

Selecting the motors is generally an iterative process because - in particular with highly-

dynamic direct drives - the moment of inertia of the motor type is a factor in determining the

required torques.
