Acceleration

Rule of thumb:

  • Speed × 10 (means the speed should be achieved in 100 ms)

Correct value – minimum of ...

  • Maximum acceleration to which the mechanical component, the tool, and the product may be subjected.
  • Determine which acceleration is possible on the tool using the maximum motor torques and gear unit input torques (this depends on the gear ratio, the position of the kinematics and consequently the lever arms, as well as on the inertias).
