How to calculate the Rotate Speed of a Motor and Gear Speed Reducer? |
Author : Date : 2015/6/26 2:31:40 |
Motors run at a specific revolutions per minute (RPM) and a speed reducer is needed if you want to keep that motor, but have a lower RPM. Calculating the RPM resulting from a motor and speed reducer assembly requires only basic mathematical knowledge.
In a speed reducer, the motor turns the small cog that turns the large cog to reduce the speed.
Things you need:
Motor base
Speed reducer ratio
Instructions
1
Write down the rated RPM of your motor; for example, 5000 RPM.
2
Write down the ratio of the speed reducer; for example, 12:5.
3
Calculate the reduction by dividing 12 by 5, which equals 2.4.
4
The RPM of the assembly is the RPM motor divided by the reduction. In our example, it would be 5000 RPM/2.4 = 2083 RPM.
Tips and warnings
YES: The ratio of a reducer will always be in the form of A:B, where A>B.
NO: The RPM found should always be lower than the base RPM of the motor. If it is not, either redo your calculation or make sure you did not get a speed multiplier instead of a reducer. |
