Worm Gear / Lead Screw Drive System

Equation:   

Motor Speed:

              

Load Torque Reflected to Motor:

             

Friction Force:

             

Friction Torque:

            

Total Inertia

          

Where:

Sm Motor Speed, rpm
Vl Load Speed, inches/minute
P =  Pitch, rev/in
Tr Torque reflected to motor, lb-in
Fl Load force, lb
e =   Efficiency
Fpf Preload Force, lb
Coefficient of friction of screw
Ff Friction force, lb
W =  Weight, lb
Tf Friction torque. lb-in
Jl Load inertia, lb-in-sec2
g =  Gravitational constant, 386 in/sec2
Jls Worm gear / lead screw inertia, lb-in-sec2
Jm Motor inertia, lb-in-sec2
