Selecting a Hollow Rotary Actuator: Selection Process
First determine your series, then select your product.
Select the actuator that you will use based on the following flow charts:
An overview of the procedure is explained below.
-
Confirm Required Specifications
(Equipment specifications)-
Check the required specifications for the hollow rotary actuator based on the equipment specifications.
The general items are explained below.- Operating speed
- Stopping accuracy
- Power supply input
- Positioning distance and time
- Position holding
-
Check the required specifications for the hollow rotary actuator based on the equipment specifications.
-
Calculate the Load
- Calculate the load inertia.
Refer to here for the formula to calculate the inertia in representative configurations.
- Calculate the load inertia.
-
Select a Model
- Using the "Load inertia-positioning time" graph, select a model that satisfies the positioning time.
-
Selection Calculations
- Ensure that the required torque and mechanical strength are within the specification values, and select a model.
