Motion Requirements

Stroke (mm) Timing Input Move Time (seconds) Motion Profile Maximum Velocity Limit (m/s)

Timing may be entered as move time in seconds or frequency in hertz (T = 1/f). Set velocity limit to zero for automatic calculation. For a sinusoidal profile, the calculated peak velocity is not reshaped to meet the limit; the result will indicate if the limit is exceeded.

Calculation Assumptions

Triangular motion assumes constant acceleration and deceleration.
Sinusoidal motion uses a sinusoidal acceleration profile.
Peak force occurs at peak acceleration.
Friction is estimated from the selected guide type.
RMS force is based on the defined duty cycle.
Mechanical power is calculated only; motor losses are not included.
Results are intended for preliminary motor sizing.
