Calculating forces
Determination of the motor force
The force that the motor has to provide consists of the sum of the individual forces at any
time. The signs of the forces must be taken into account!
The following diagram shows an example of the individual forces for a linear motor and the
resulting motor force F
M
.

Determination of the peak force
The peak force F
L,MAX
(= at maximum the force of the duty cycle) that the motor must provide
can be easily determined from the above figure.
