15.3 Determining Drive Capacity
15 -13
As shown in Fig. 15.16, when performing drill processing, the blade is mounted to the main axis and ro-
tated, opening a hole in the material being processed, so the motive force P
D
required can be expressed
using the following formula. The load torque M differs depending on the material, and the ratio of the drill
radius D: Feed speed f, so care must be applied.

Gravity Load Drive
The motive force required to move a load such as a crane or loader vertically differs greatly depending on
whether or not a counterweight is used. The motive force in each case can be expressed using the following
formulas.
