Procedure for configuring non-controlled drives

Based on the application, the drive train components are calculated and selected in the order described here. In contrast to project planning for controlled drives, the motor is selected before the gear unit.

  1. General application-side calculations
    • Travel dynamics
    • Output speed and gear ratio requirement
    • Forces and torques
    • Mass moment of inertia
  2. Calculating power
  3. Calculating and selecting the motor
    • Selection criteria
    • Checking motor start-up
    • Switching frequency
  4. Calculating and selecting the brake
    • Special requirements for lifting applications
    • Braking work, braking torque and switching frequency
    • Selecting the brake
    • Gear unit load during braking
    • Further selection criteria
  5. Calculating and selecting the gear unit
    • Preselecting the gear unit
    • Calculating the actual gear unit load
    • Options for reducing the gear unit load
