(3) For a load running horizontally
Assume a carrier table driven by a motor as shown in Figure 10.3-1. If the table speed is υ (m/s) when the motor
speed is N
M
(r/min), then an equivalent distance from the shaft is equal to 60·υ / (2π·N
M
) (m). The moment of inertia
of the table and load to the shaft is calculated as follows:

(4) For a vertical or inclined lift load
The moment of inertia J (kg·m

) of the loads connected with a rope as shown in Figure 10.3-2 and Figure 10.3-3 is
calculated with the following equation using the mass of all moving objects, although the motion directions of those
loads are different.
