Before proceeding this calculation, obtain the motor shaft moment of inertia J
1
, the load shaft moment of
inertia converted to motor shaft J
2
, maximum load torque converted to motor shaft τ
L
, and the
reduction-gear efficiency η
G
. Apply the maximum motor output torque τ
M
according to an actual speed
thread ΔN as follows.

If the result obtained by the above calculation does not satisfy the target value, select an inverter with one
rank higher capacity.

shown in [4].

In this expression, both τ
M
, and ΔN are generally negative values so that the load torque τ
L
serves to
assist the deceleration operation. For a lift load, however, the load torque τ
L
is a negative value in some
modes. In this case, the τ
M
, and τ
L
will take polarity opposite to each other and the τ
L
will serve to
prevent the deceleration operation of the lift.
