Frequently Asked Questions
What does this calculator calculate?
The StageEngineering Revolve Drive Motor Power Sizing Formula Calculator estimates Required Continuous Motor Power based on the input parameters you provide
Why is total rotational inertia important in this calculation?
total rotational inertia is directly proportional to required continuous motor power. When you enter total rotational inertia in kg·m², the calculator uses it in the engineering formula to compute the output
How should I interpret the result required continuous motor power?
The calculator outputs required continuous motor power in W. For larger power values, divide by 1000 to express the result in kW, or by 745.7 for horsepower. The result is computed directly from the input values using the defined engineering formula
What units should I use for the inputs?
Enter each value in the units shown next to the input field: Total Rotational Inertia (kg·m²), Maximum Angular Acceleration (rad/s²), Total Friction Torque (N·m), Maximum Operating Angular Velocity (rad/s). Make sure all inputs use the specified units for consistent results
What assumptions does this calculator use?
