Most engineers recognize that gearheads can be used to create a better inertia match between the object that is being moved and the motor being driven. Put simply, it is dictated by the gearhead ratio where the object reflected inertia to the motor is reduced by 1/ratio2. So what should the correct inertia be? Typically … Continue reading Overcoming Inertia: 5 Things You Need to Know
