    Servo Speed
AI Thread Summary
Rated speed in servo motors refers to the maximum speed at which the motor can operate while delivering rated torque, while output speed typically indicates the maximum speed achievable without load. In the context of a gearbox, rated motor speed may differ from the output speed due to design factors such as lubrication and gear types. Gearboxes can often operate at higher speeds, but this may lead to increased noise and reduced lifespan. Understanding the relationship between torque, RPM, and power is crucial, as rated power is defined at rated RPM and torque. Clarification from the supplier or manufacturer is recommended for specific applications.

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.
 
@onatirec and @Baluncore Thank you so much for your attention. Your answers brightened to my opinions.
 
I need some assistance with calculating hp requirements for moving a load. - The 4000lb load is resting on ball bearing rails so friction is effectively zero and will be covered by my added power contingencies. Load: 4000lbs Distance to travel: 10 meters. Time to Travel: 7.5 seconds Need to accelerate the load from a stop to a nominal speed then decelerate coming to a stop. My power delivery method will be a gearmotor driving a gear rack. - I suspect the pinion gear to be about 3-4in in...
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Calculate minimum RPM to self-balance a CMG on two legs'
Here is a photo of a rough drawing of my apparatus that I have built many times and works. I would like to have a formula to give me the RPM necessary for the gyroscope to balance itself on the two legs (screws). I asked Claude to give me a formula and it gave me the following: Let me calculate the required RPM foreffective stabilization. I'll use the principles of gyroscopicprecession and the moment of inertia. First, let's calculate the keyparameters: 1. Moment of inertia of...
