Calculating the Moment of Inertia
Refer to the following examples of formulas to calculate the moment of inertia of load
(end effector with work piece).
The moment of inertia of the entire load is calculated by the sum of each part (a), (b), and
(c).
Moment of Inertia
of End Effector (a)
Moment of Inertia
of Work Piece (b)
Moment of Inertia
of Work Piece (c)
The methods for calculating the moment of inertia for (a), (b), and (c) are shown on this
page or the next page. Find the whole moment of inertia using the basic formulas on the
next page.
