Conveyors & Encoders: Belt Speed, Required Motor rpm, Pulses to Distance
This lesson is part of the course
In this lesson
You calculate belt speeds from motor rpm, gear ratio and pulley diameter, work out the motor speed for a target belt speed, turn encoder pulses into distance and estimate a conveyor's throughput.
