Hi all of you

I am using the accelartion VI from for the motion

One input is the acceleartion in RPsec/sec how can I convert this unit in a real acceleration unit mm/sec2

Any help

Jürgen,

RP/sec^2 means Revolutions per second^2. So the only thing that you have to do is to multiply this value with the pitch of your mechanical system [mm/revolution] (how many mm does your stage move per revolution). Depending on your system you will have also to take into account the gear reatio of a gearing box.

I hope that helps,
