Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the differences between "rated speed" and "output speed" in servo motors, particularly in the context of a gearbox. Participants explore the definitions and implications of these terms, as well as their relationships to torque and power ratings.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Conceptual clarification, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks clarification on the difference between rated speed and output speed in servo motors, noting discrepancies in speed ratings from different sources.
  • Another participant suggests that rated speed typically refers to the maximum speed at rated torque, while output speed may refer to the maximum speed when unloaded, indicating that rated speed is generally lower than maximum speed.
  • A third participant proposes that rated speed may be related to rated power, explaining that power is the product of torque and RPM, and that rated power is achieved at rated RPM and rated torque, with the possibility of exceeding either value but not both simultaneously.
  • A later reply expresses gratitude for the insights provided, indicating that the responses have clarified the original poster's understanding.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present differing interpretations of rated speed and output speed, with no consensus reached on the definitions or implications of these terms.

Contextual Notes

There are potential limitations in the definitions provided, as well as dependencies on specific contexts such as gearbox types and operational conditions that remain unresolved.

Hi Everyone,
What is the difference between "Rated speed nC(1/min)" and "output speed" in servo motors.

At the same time While "rated motor speed" is 1405(1/min) in gearbox catalogue, Rated speed is 3000 (1/min) in servo motor catalogue for the same gearbox.

If someone has a knowledge about this kind of servo motor and gearbox, can you inform to me.

Thanks in advance

your question is not all that clear.

generally, rated speed is the max speed at the rated torque, whereas (max) output speed is unloaded. so rated speed is lower than max speed.

Gearboxes have their own speed ratings (depending on the lubrication, gear types, etc, etc). Often times a gearbox will function at a higher speed, but they might be noisier or it could affect lifetime. You should reach out to the supplier or manufacturer directly to clarify conflicting information.

Maybe it is referenced to rated power.
Power is torque multiplied by RPM.
There is no power at zero RPM, or at zero torque.
To get the rated power it operates at the rated RPM and rated torque.
Either the torque or the RPM could be greater than the rated value, but not both at the same time.
