The Art of Motor and Drive Sizing
Track/Summit: Embedded Systems
Session ID#: TS1494
Abstract: Correctly sizing motors is one of the most important decisions in any machine design because it directly impacts machine performance. Additionally, 97 percent of operating costs over a motor's lifetime can result from energy consumption rather than the cost of the motor itself. Despite this, most motors are oversized. At this session, discuss the proper techniques for sizing drives and motors including topics such as inertia mismatch, tuning tolerance, gearing, continuous and peak specifications, and bus power implications.
