More information about the presented webinar: 

Moment of inertia is a critical parameter in any rotating application. It is the rotative equivalent of moving mass in case of linear motion. Calculating the moment of inertia can be a difficult task due to the complex shapes that many applications have. Knowing the exact moment of inertia will ensure correct motor selection which will optimize

  • Acceleration
  • Throughput
  • Space usage
  • Energy consumption
  • Costs

This webinar will explain what is the moment of inertia and how to calculate it. Bart Alberts, Technical Application Engineer at Tecnotion, will illustrate and show examples using the calculation tool in the Online simulation tool.

Also he will cover the concept of inertia mismatch and why it is of less importance to match the inertia of the motor with the inertia of the load when using a direct drive motor.
