I have a linear slider with the following specs:

Max allowable dynamic moment: 36.3 Nm
Load capacity based on acceleration of: 0.3G
Offset distance from center of slider to center of load: 305mm
Mass of load: 50lb

I did the following calcuation

36.2N*m = X(Kg) * 305mm * 0.3G * 9.8/1000
X = 40Kg or approx 88lbs

I can conclude this slide is capable of moving this mass.

Is my math correct? :)

Thanks!
