What peak speed do you need from the motor?
What peak torque do you need from the motor?
- At what speed is that needed?
- How long is that torque needed?
How much inertia is reflected back to the motor?
- Learn more about inertia and inertia ratio in Episode 69.
What AC or DC voltage do you have available to power the drive?
- This dictates your maximum speed capability.
