Inercia Dpend Ratio2

This technical bulletin explains why the gear ratio is squared when sizing a gearhead for inertia matching. It provides the equations and algebra steps to show that the load inertia (J2) multiplied by the inverse of the squared gear ratio equals the motor inertia (J1). The document defines the variables for motor torque, inertia, and acceleration and the corresponding variables for the load. It then shows the fundamental equations relating torque, inertia, and acceleration for the motor and load. Through algebraic manipulation of these equations, it derives the relationship that the load inertia multiplied by the inverse of the squared gear ratio equals the motor inertia, explaining why the gear ratio must be squared for inertia matching.

Squaring of Gear Ratio for inertia Matching
Long time ago

Gearhead Sizing
When sizing a gearhead for inertia matching the squaring of the ratio is often used without explanation.
Here are the simple equations and the algebra to explain why if anyone ever asks.

Variable definitions
T1 = motor torque
J1 = motor inertia
1 = motor angular acceleration
T2 = load torque
J2 = load inertia
2 = load angular acceleration

To determine why the gear ratio is squared we must first start with the following fundamental equations.

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

T2= J2* 2
T1 / R1 = T2 / R2
T1 = J1 * 1
T2= J2* 2
T1 / R1 = T2 / R2
R1 * 1= R2 * 2
Gear ratio = R2 / R1

With simple algebra we manipulate equations 6 & 4 to get


8. 1 = (R2 / R1) * 2
9. 2 = T2 / J2
Then with substitution of equation 8 for 1 into 3,
10. T1 = J1 * (R2 / R1) * 2
Next we substitution of equation 9 for 2 into 10,
11. T1 = J1 * (R2 / R1) * (T2 / J2)

Bring T2 to the left side of the equation
12. T1 / T2 = (R2 / R1) * (J1 / J2)
And cross-multiply on equation 5
13. T1 / T2 = R1 / R2
Equate equation 12 & 13
T1 / T2 = R1 / R2 = (R2 / R1) * (J1 / J2)
Finally bring the (R2 / R1) and J2 to the left.
J2 * 1 / (R2 / R1) = J1
J2 * 1 / (gear ratio) = J1
