Calculating the moment of inertia webinar

The webinar was presented on October 28, 2021

Moment of inertia is a critical parameter in any rotating application. It is the rotative equivalent of moving mass in the case of linear motion. Calculating the moment of inertia can be a difficult task due to the complex shapes that many applications have. Knowing the exact moment of inertia will ensure correct motor selection which will optimize

• Acceleration
• Throughput
• Space usage
• Energy consumption
• Costs

This webinar explained what the moment of inertia is and how to calculate it. Bart Alberts, Technical Application Engineer at Tecnotion, illustrated and showed examples using the calculation tool in the Online simulation tool.

Also, Bart Alberts covered the concept of inertia mismatch and why it is less important to match the inertia of the motor with the inertia of the load when using a direct drive motor.
