- 0:00On the left side of your screen there is a disc of diameter 600 mm and on the right side of a screen
- 0:07there is a cylinder of diameter 200 mm and both have equal Mass 20 kg now imagine these shapes
- 0:17are mounted on set of bearings and connected to electrical motors and try to rotate the shapes
- 0:24around their Central axis so could you tell me if this both shapes need to rotate at the same speed
- 0:33let's say 100 RPM then which motor would require more torque would or the required torque need to be
- 0:41same since both have same mass and same speed or would the motor for disc need to be more torque
- 0:48than the one for cylinder what do you think which one would require the greater torque how we can
- 0:55calculate the required torque for Motors well as we know the torque is the product of force F and the
- 1:03distance R for example if we are applying a tangential force of 5 Newton at a lever that is 2 m long the
- 1:12torque required to turn around the Pivot Point would be 5 Newton into 2 m 10 Newton meter but this
- 1:21case is different we are not applying a force at circumference or at a distance from the axis
- 1:30here the motor is directly applying a turning moment to the center of the disc or cylinder there
- 1:39is a no lever there is no R and no tangential Force the torque is applying directly to the
- 1:47central axis so how we do calculate the torque required torque for these motors moreover this
- 1:55is not a surprising or unique case as a mechanical design engineer we encounter such cases very often
- 2:04we often design indexing table for assembly line where we rotate a disc plate around their axis
- 2:11very precisely also conveyor rollers where cylindrical rollers rotate around their
- 2:17Central axis also in ball screw or lead screw we rotate the ball screw around their axis and
- 2:25in all these cases we must calculate the required torque to sizing the motor correctly however if your
- 2:34physics is still good then you must be familiar with the term moment of inertia and probably you
- 2:42know the answer to this question as well that the disc has a larger diameter that means the
- 2:48mass is distributed further from the axis so its moment of inertia is higher as compared to
- 2:56cylinder in fact the disc has moment of inertia of 0.9 kg meter square while the cylinder has
- 3:05a much lower moment of inertia of 0.1 kg meter Square so does this means the motor for the disc
- 3:14will always require more torque not necessary the torque required to rotate an object doesn't depend
- 3:23solely on its moment of inertia it also depends on angular acceleration that is how quickly we
- 3:31need the object to reach its Target speed if you're okay with a slower start then required
- 3:38torque would be lower but if you need a quick start and stop like an induction table then the
- 3:45torque requirement increases significantly so to choose the right motor for any rotary application
- 3:52like indexing table or conveyor, we need to master two things one is what does actually
- 4:00means of moment of inertia how to calculate it and how to optimize it for a rotary mechanism
- 4:07and the second is how to estimate the acceleration time for particular rotary mechanism which again
- 4:15depends on two things one is application itself for example, application like indexing table quick
- 4:23start and stop are critical but for conveyors blowers fans acceleration can be slower and the
- 4:32second is type of motor for example Servo motor can take much more time to accelerate whereas for
- 4:40an induction motor too long startup time can be lead to stalling or overheating so hi there this
- 4:48is Ayush from Master mechanical design and today we are going to master the motor sizing for rotary
- 4:55applications we will go through the two examples one for induction motor sizing for a belt conveyor
- 5:01and another is Servo motor sizing for indexing application and by the end of this video you
- 5:07will have a clear understanding of how to sizing the motor for almost any rotating application but
- 5:14this is just an outcome of this video the main thing the core thing we are going to must is
- 5:21inertia and movement of inertia not just physics behind this but we will also understand what moment of inertia
- 5:30really is how it works and why it's so important in machine design I will show you where we use
- 5:38torque = F X r and where we use torque = I X Alpha so after watching this video the
- 5:47motor sizing won't intimidate you anymore and you will become a master of motor sizing for
- 5:54almost all the application before we start let me quickly mention our today video sponsor our

- 7:12big thanks to JLCMC for supporting the channel so what is inertia and moment of inertia so first of
- 7:21the inertia is related to linear motion the motion in a straight line and moment of inertia or we can
- 7:29say mass moment of inertia or second movement of mass or most accurately rotational inertia is related to
- 7:38rotational motion but before understanding moment of inertia let's start with inertia so you have
- 7:46probably heard this word many times back in school high school in college and even in job but what
- 7:54does it actually mean is inertia a force or is its Mass well inertia is neither a force nor just
- 8:05Mass it is actually a property of mass a natural tendency of mass of an object to keep doing what
- 8:15they are already doing if something is at rest it will naturally want to be at rest if something is
- 8:23moving it's naturally wanting to be keep moving in the same direction at same speed in simple terms
- 8:32inertia is a resistance to change in its motion in their current state and Isaac Newton refine and
- 8:41codify the same concept of inertia in the first law of motion also known as principle of inertia
- 8:51that everybody Preserve in the state of rest or uniform motion in right line unless it's compiled
- 8:59to change the state by the force impressed their own what this simply means is a body
- 9:06in its rest means the velocity and acceleration is zero the natural tendency of the body to be
- 9:15at rest cannot automatically go into motion and if an object is in uniform motion on a straight
- 9:23line uniform motion means constant velocity can be anything but must be constant which again
- 9:31means zero acceleration then the object will remains in uniform motion on a straight line
- 9:38but unfortunately, we cannot experience this on Earth surface because of gravity friction and
- 9:44air resistance but you must have seen in videos when an astronaut float around an object the object
- 9:53continue to move at constant velocity because in a space where there's no gravity it and air resistance
- 10:02so, once the object gets accelerate it will remain in uniform motion unless we apply a force on it so
- 10:10here is a big question how much force is needed to change the motion how much force is needed
- 10:18to change the state means if something is at rest then how much force would take it to get in moving
- 10:27or if something is already moving in a straight line then how much force would require changing
- 10:32its speed or its direction so let's understand it step by step so first if you just want to start
- 10:41the motion regardless of how fast and slow then any amount of unbalanced force can do the job even
- 10:49a tiny push will work for example in deep space far from the gravity and air resistance any
- 10:57object no matter how heavy will start the moving if you apply any Force at all even something as
- 11:06small as 0.001 Newton and once it starts moving it will keep moving in the same direction forever
- 11:16that's the Newton first Law a body at rest stay at rest and a body in motion keep moving in Motion in
- 11:24a straight line unless acted by an unbalanced force even on the Earth surface any amount of
- 11:32unbalanced force can start the motion but here is a catch you also need to overcome the frictional
- 11:39resistance if the applied force is less or equal to the resistance force nothing will happen and
- 11:47the object will stay will not start moving but applying even a little extra Force then
- 11:54the frictional force the object will start moving but if you want to achieve a specific velocity
- 12:03in a specific time then the required Force would depends on two things the first is mass of object
- 12:11and second is how quickly you want to accelerate its Newton Second Law of Motion force equal to mass * acceleration F = m.a confusing isn't it so let's understand this both things with an example
- 12:30imagine we have 20 kg fixture mounted on a slider and the slider have a coefficient of
- 12:37friction 0.5 and we want to use a Pneumatic cylinder to slide this fixture so how do we
- 12:45calculate the required force to move it so first we need to calculate the force need to overcome
- 12:51the friction the frictional force equal to Mui mg and for our case the frictional force would be
- 12:5898.1 Newton now if pneumatic cylinder applies exactly 98.1 Newton or less than 98.1 Newton the
- 13:09fixture won't move because the frictional force and the applied force cancel each other out so
- 13:17to move the fixture we need to apply an unbalanced force for example if we apply 100 Newton which
- 13:25is just 1.9 Newton more than the frictional Force the fixture will move but here is the interesting
- 13:33physics the amount of this unbalanced force determines the how quickly fixture will move for
- 13:42example let's say the slider length is 1 Meter and you want the fixture to cover this distance in
- 13:48Just 2 second so the fixture initial velocity is 0 m/s because our fixture is at rest and the distance
- 13:59is 1 Meter and the time is 2 second so to calculate the required acceleration we can use the linear
- 14:07motion equation s = ut + 1/2 a² put the values so, acceleration is 0.5 m/s square and now
- 14:19we can use Newton Second Law formula f = ma the mass of fixture is 20 kg and the acceleration is
- 14:270.5 m/s Square so F = 10 Newton so this is a unbalanced force required to achieve the desired
- 14:40acceleration of 0.5 m/s squared so that fixture could cover 1 Meter within 2 second and remember in
- 14:50this calculation there is no friction no gravity it's a purely based on the mass and acceleration
- 15:00the greater the mass or the faster you want to accelerate the more Force you will need so the
- 15:07total Force required to move this fixture equal to the force to overcome the friction 98.1 Newton
- 15:16plus, the unbalanced force to achieve the desired acceleration 10 Newton so in total we will need
- 15:23108.1 Newton to move this fixture 1 m in 2 second now whether the pneumatic cylinder can actually
- 15:33provide this Force quickly enough that's depends on other factors like air flow rate but that's the
- 15:40different problem so in summary the inertia is a resistance to change in motion and it depends on
- 15:49the mass of the object greater the mass greater the inertia and the required Force to change in
- 15:56inertial state rest to motion or motion to rest depends on how quickly you want to accelerate the
- 16:04mass now what about movement of inertia the rotational inertia so as the inertial mass
- 16:14is related to linear motion moment of inertia is related to rotational motion when an object rotate
- 16:23around their own internal axis like a spinning of something like this Rod it's rotate around their
- 16:31own axis internal axis can be in this way also it's also an internal axis within the body so this
- 16:41rotation has also moment of inertia but the moment of inertia around this axis is more as compared to
- 16:50this axis which we will understand later also the axis doesn't have to be necessary fixed the axis
- 16:59can move itself when the object is rotating like this also if you're rotating something
- 17:06only to a specific angle there will be also moment of inertia and the moment of inertia
- 17:12plays the same role in rotational motion as mass touch in linear motion just like Mass resist the
- 17:20change in linear motion moment of inertia resist the change in rotational motion but here is the
- 17:28key difference the moment of inertia doesn't just depends on amount of mass it also depends on the
- 17:36how the mass is distributed related to the axis of rotation if the mass is further from the axis
- 17:44the moment of inertia would be higher means will more resistance the change in rotation and if the
- 17:51same amount of mass is somehow closer to the axis of rotation then moment of inertia would be lower
- 17:59means we'll resist less to change in rotation now in linear motion if we want to change the
- 18:08inertial state of a point Mass we apply a force in the direction we want the motion to occur in
- 18:16a straight line and the equation we use is f = ma but what if we connect this point Mass to a
- 18:27pivot point with a zero Mass rigid connection and if we want to rotate this Mass around this pivot
- 18:35point in the same plane then how much torque will need to apply around the pivot point well we know
- 18:44the relation between force and torque equal to force into radius R now what's force will still
- 18:53ma right but in this case as we are rotating we need to replace the linear acceleration with
- 19:02angular acceleration and we also know the linear acceleration equal to R angular acceleration
- 19:09Alpha if you forget linear velocity equal to R angular velocity linear displacement equal to
- 19:17R angular displacement so the torque T equal to m R Alpha into R which simplified to mr² alpha now
- 19:29if we compare this torque equation to the linear equation force F = ma so for Force we have torque for
- 19:38linear acceleration we have angular acceleration and for Mass we have M r² this M r Square is
- 19:47actually moment of inertia it's denoted as I in most classical physics equation but in engineering
- 19:55we often use J to represent the moment of inertia but this is exactly the same the rotational
- 20:02inertia moment of inertia so this was all about the moment of inertia and their relation with torque
- 20:08torque equal to I moment of inertia into Alpha angular acceleration the more moment of inertia
- 20:17an object has the more torque will require to accelerate it and the faster you want to rotate it
- 20:25the more torque will be required if you are wondering if I = to Mr² then why different shapes have
- 20:36different moment of inertia formula why not just mr² so let me break down this a bit so first of
- 20:46the moment of inertia is an extensive property an additive property so if there is too Mass instead
- 20:53of one then the moment of inertia will be simple to 2 mr² if there is one more other mass at half of
- 21:02the radius then it will become Mr² + m r / by 2 square now if suppose this is a rigid body like
- 21:12a dis or cylinder then there is an infinite Mass infinite Point Mass so instead of adding them we
- 21:23integrate to find the total moment of inertia and here I don't want to dive into math of integration
- 21:31but the point I want you to understand is the I = Mr² represents the moment of inertia of
- 21:39a point mass at a distance R from the rotational axis but in real world we often work with rigid
- 21:47bodies like cylinder disc or any other shape so to find the moment of inertia of these shapes we
- 21:55perform Integrations and the results depends on the shape of the object and the position of the
- 22:01axis of rotation so I will leave these formula in video description for your reference so this
- 22:09was all about the theory of moment of inertia and now let's understand how this theory applies in
- 22:16motor sizing calculation so we will do the two calculation of an index motor sizing for belt
- 22:24conveyor and the servo motor sizing for indexing table so let's first understand the calculation of
- 22:33an induction motor for a belt conveyor and then we will understand the sizing of Servo motor for
- 22:40indexing table so let's say we have a 3 m long belt conveyor with ruler of 200 mm diameter and
- 22:50the load of our belt is 80 kg and the mass of the belt itself is 20 kg now what would be the
- 22:59required torque of motor to drive this belt conveyor so we need to calculate the required
- 23:06torque for two components one is pulling Force required to overcome the friction between the Belt
- 23:14and the Belt support and second is required torque to overcome the moment of inertia of the whole
- 23:22system so first let's calculate the pulling force so the total load is 80 kg of material
- 23:33plus 20 kg of Belt so 100 kg in total now let's assume a solid support below the belt and the
- 23:42coefficient of friction between the belt and support is let's take it at 0.2 so the required
- 23:49pulling force would be equal to frictional resistance which is Mu mg put the values
- 23:582 Newton so what now so think of this pulling Force as an attached to the roller with a string
- 24:08so when roller will rotate this pull will act like a tangential Force something like
- 24:15this so to find the required torque we need to multiply this pulling Force by the radius
- 24:23of driving roller so the roller has a 200 mm diameter so the radius would be 100 mm 0.1 M
- 24:33so the required torque would be 1962 Newt M but we are not done yet we also need to calculate the
- 24:43required torque to accelerate the whole system from rest to motion and this depends on moment
- 24:50of inertia of the system the torque equal to moment of inertia into angular acceleration so
- 24:57let's first calculate the moment of inertia so the total moment of inertia includes the moment
- 25:03of inertia of rulers and moment of inertia of load over conveyor including the conveyor belt yes the
- 25:12load and the belt is also at the rest so we need the torque to accelerate them too so for rulers
- 25:20the moment of inertia around their rotational axis would be half m² so moment of inertia of
- 25:28each roller would be 0.075 k m square so for both roller it's 0.15 k m Square now for the load and
- 25:39the belt the total moving load is 100 kg but it's move linearly so most of us doesn't consider this
- 25:49as a moment of inertia but we have to so we will have to convert this in a equivalent moment of
- 25:57inertia so imagine this load as a single point mass at the roller circumference because the belt
- 26:04and the load has to be pulled over the belt circumference so the moment of inertia of a
- 26:11point mass at distance R is equal to Mr square so for 100 kg at 0.1 M radius it would be 1 kg
- 26:21M Square so the total moment of inertia equal to 0.15 + 1 1 15 km square and now we comes to the
- 26:33tricky part deciding the acceleration P motor more acceleration means more torque would be required
- 26:41and if we could start slowly the less torque would be required so to decide the acceleration first we
- 26:49need to understand that how an induction Motors actually works so mostly we use a synchronous
- 26:56induction motor means there is always a slightly difference or slip between the rotational speed
- 27:04of the electromagnetic field in a stator and the router of the motor under no load condition this
- 27:13slip is typically about 1% however when we apply a load the slip increase for a standard motor
- 27:21this slip should not be exceed 5% as the higher sleep can cause overheating and reduce the motor
- 27:29lifespan some special design motor allow sleep up to 8% but for most of a standard Motors a staying
- 27:37between 1% to 5% range is crucial now let's consider a four pole induction motor operating
- 27:47at 50 HZ for this conveyor so the synchronous speed a four pole motor would be500 RPM I have
- 27:57already explained synch speed of motor in this video for two pole speed would be 3,000 RPM for
- 28:04four pole speed would be 1500 RPM so if we want an Optimum motor sizing we can consider a slip
- 28:13of 5% at full load so the speed of motor at full load would be 1,500 minus 5% of 1500 1425 RPM so
- 28:27we have the final speed of motor at full load and we have also initial speed 0 RPM yes we sizing the
- 28:36motor to start the system from the rest now when we will start this induction motor it will begin
- 28:45at 0 RPM which means the slip will be initially 100% And as the motor accelerate the sleep will
- 28:55gradually reduce to around 5% under the full load operating condition so during this starting phase
- 29:03the motor drawn a very high current 5 to seven times more than the normal operating speed so if
- 29:10this starting time lasts too long the motor can overheat and potentially burn out so to avoid
- 29:18this the starting time of induction motor must be controlled based on the method we use for Direct
- 29:26online do starting the acceleration time should be between 1 to 5 Second for Star Delta starting it
- 29:34should be range from 3 to 10 second with a soft starter it can extend to 15 second and using a
- 29:42VFD the starting time can be programmed to As Long As 30 second so for optimal Motor Performance our
- 29:51goal should be to achieve an acceleration time of around 5 Second so we have the acceleration Time 5
- 30:00Second so now we can calculate the acceleration of the motor but first we need to convert the final
- 30:08speed 1425 RPM to the radian per second so 1 RPM equal to 0.467 radian per second so 1425 RPM 1
- 30:2249.1 5 radian per second if you are wondering how the one are PM equal to 10467 radian per second
- 30:31so 1 RPM means in 1 minute in 60 second one full Revolution 360° means 2 pi radian so in 1 second
- 30:422 pi / 60 01467 radian per second very simple so the angular acceleration Omega divided by T = to
- 30:58put this values in the torque equation it would be 34.3 Newton M so the total required torque to
- 31:06run this conveyor with full load equal to 53.92 n m this means the motors should provide 53.92 new
- 31:19M or more but if you're using a gearbox let's say 1 is to 10 ratio then the motor required
- 31:27torque would be reduced to just 5.3 Newt M so I hope you understood that how important is
- 31:34to calculate the moment of inertia and choosing the right acceleration for motor sizing now let's
- 31:43understand the servo motor sizing for an indexing table so let's consider an indexing application
- 31:50an index surround plate of 1 M diameter mass 100 kg and having two fixture and it
- 31:58mass is 20 kg the plate is supported by a cross roller bearing so the outer diameter of the
- 32:06bearing is 200 mm and the cycle time to rotate this plate from one station to another by 180°
- 32:15is 2 second and we have to use a Servo motor to Index this whole system so how much torque does
- 32:23servo motor need to perform this task interesting right so the total required torque of the servo
- 32:31motor need to be sum of two part the first is frictional torque to overcome the resistance in
- 32:38bearing and the second is acceleration torque to get the moment of inertia of system to accelerate
- 32:45so let's tackle the frictional torque first so let's assume the coefficient of friction of the
- 32:51bearing is 0.05 this is ideal for bearings and the total mass of the system is 100 kg mass of
- 32:59the plate plus 40 kg mass of the both fixes 140 kg so the frictional force F = to Mu mg 68.6 7
- 33:11Newton and the radius of bearing is 0.1 M half of 200 mm so the frictional torque to overcome
- 33:21the resistance would be torque equal to F into R 68.6 7 into 0.1 6. 867 n m so the torque needed to
- 33:33overcome the friction is 6867 n m next we have to calculate the torque required to accelerate this
- 33:42whole system the torque equal to moment of inertia into angular acceleration so the moment of inertia
- 33:49of this whole system would be moment of inertia of plate half m² 12.5 kg m square plus the moment of
- 34:00inertia of each fixture 5 r M square so the total moment of inertia of system would be 22.5 k m
- 34:10square now in this equation we need to calculate angular acceleration but how so here we have to
- 34:19understand a very important thing that motion doesn't start at full speed it's always begin
- 34:27at zero velocity increase to the desire speed and then de accelerate you cannot instantly
- 34:36jump to any desired speed in 0 second there is always a some sometimes to accelerate and to De
- 34:45accelerate even for a fraction of second so now in this case we got 2 second to make this whole
- 34:55thing happens so we can divide this time into like 0.5 second for acceleration 0.5 second for
- 35:03de acceleration and 1 second for uniform motion in between but if you want more smooth start and
- 35:11stop we can go for 0.75 second for acceleration and de acceleration and 0.5 second for uniform
- 35:20motion in between actually this division is up to you up to the programmer and the thing is
- 35:26you just have to give the more time or we can say enough time for acceleration and de acceleration
- 35:33as much it's possible I hope you got it so we have the total angular displacement 180° by radian so
- 35:42we can use the angular displacement equation for each stage angular displacement equal to
- 35:49half initial angular velocity plus final angular velocity into time so for angular displacement at
- 35:57acceleration since the initial angular velocity is zero angular displacement at acceleration equal to
- 36:06half Omega Max T 0.75 same for the D acceleration and for uniform motion Omega Max is constant means
- 36:16initial velocity and final velocity is equal so angular displacement at constant velocity
- 36:24will be Omega Max into time 0 .5 and we can sum up this all so pi = to 1.25 Omega Max so
- 36:36maximum angular velocity Omega Max equal to 2.51 radian per second so the angular velocity at the
- 36:46end of the acceleration phase is 2.51 radian per second so the angular acceleration Alpha
- 36:54can be calculated as angular Max 2.51 divided by time taken 0.75 for acceleration 3.35 radian per
- 37:05second Square so the needed torque to accelerate and de accelerate this whole indexing system would
- 37:14be the moment of inertia of whole system 22.5 kg M square into angular acceleration 3.35 radian per
- 37:24squared 75.3 7 Newton M and the total torque 6.86 the frictional resistance torque plus 7537 82.2
- 37:373 n m so this is how we sizing and servo motor and this is quite different from sizing of an
- 37:45induction motor with servo motor we do not really have to worry about the acceleration time in same
- 37:52way the reason is simple the servo motor working principle is different than and induction motor
- 37:59the Sero motor is designed for the precise control however it doesn't means that we can just decrease
- 38:08the acceleration as much we want to rotate any heavy system with large moment of inertia there
- 38:16is actually a limitation when it comes to that how much moment of inertia a Sero motor can handle and
- 38:23we can find this limitation in CMO motor catalog from the manufacturer let me give you an example
- 38:31for a 400 wat Sero motor the catalog specified the allowable moment of inertia 10 times of motor
- 38:39moment of inertia and here the motor's moment of inertia is 0.09 into 10 upon -4 k m square
- 38:48so the allowable moment of inertia for this motor would be 10 times that value which equal to 0.409
- 38:57into 10 upon -3 K m² so once we calculated the required torque for the system don't
- 39:05just select the motor only based on torque and rated speed of Sero motor we will also need to
- 39:12verify the allowable moment of inertia for the motor and make sure the selected motor moment
