Calculation and evaluation of effective torque
When the servomotor moves like fig. 2-10 pattern, the effective torque (T

Use the motor within 80% of motor rated torque because of encoder circuit thermal limit (70℃).
When the effective torque is 80% or more of motor rated torque, measure the temperature of encoder
circuit to check it is within the limit.
