(3) For a load running horizontally
Assume a carrier table driven by a motor as shown in Figure 7.7. If the table speed is X (m/s) when the
motor speed is N
M
(r/min), then an equivalent distance from the rotation axis is equal to 60·X / (2S·N
M
) m.
The moment of inertia of the table and load to the rotation axis is calculated as follows:

is positive. So,
deceleration time becomes shorter.
