Calculation of motor-shaft conversion torque and effective torque
Calculate the acceleration torque from the motor-shaft conversion load inertia, the motor-rotor iner-
tia and the acceleration. Then, calculate the load torque from the external force (gravity and ten-
sion) and friction force applied to the load. Finally, combine these calculation results to calculate
the torque required for the motor.
