 Electronic Gear Ratio Calculation 
Follow the Steps below: 
1. Define the requirements of the positioning system 
 Establish the following: 
•  Move distance per one revolution of load shaft. 
•  Servo motor Encoder ppr (Pulse Per Revolution). (please refer to section 1-1-2 Servo 
Motor Standards). 
•  Motor / load Shaft deceleration ratio. 
2. Move distance per one move command pulse. 
Define the move distance caused by the transmission system as a result of, one move 
command pulse from the host controller. 
Ex: When 1 Pulse Command move = 1μm  
If the Host Controller gives a move command of 2000 pulses, the transmission device will 
move by: -  
2mm1um/pulse2000pulse  =×
 (The Electronic Gear Ratio must be set correctly).  
3. Calculate the Electronic Gear Ratio 
Calculate the Electronic Gear Ratio according to the formula below:- 
 
 
 
 
 
 If the deceleration ratio between motor and load shaft is  
m
n
 
 
  (m = Motor Rotating number, n= Load Shaft Rotating Value), Then the formula for Electronic Gear Ratio is:  
 
 
 
Warning!  
The calculated Electronic Gear Ratio must be according to the conditions below, otherwise the 
servo drive and motor will not function correctly.

Electronic Gear Ratio =                     X    
       Move distance per load shaft revolution ÷ Move distance per command Pulse           n 
          Encoder  ppr ( Pulse Per Revolution) x 4    
Electronic Gear Ratio = 
          Move distance per load shaft revolution ÷ Move distance per command Pulse
