Enter the total load in kg:     

Enter the top speed in mm/s:     

Enter the overall efficiency in %:    

Click this button to calculate the motor size in kW:            

The motor size required is:    

The load figure should include the load of the bar or self-weight of the lift.

The speed figure is the top speed required.

The efficiency percentage should be the efficiency of the whole mechanical system.

As a rule of thumb:

For bevel gearboxes reduce efficiency by 10% for each spur.

For worm gear boxes use the ratio as the reduction percentage, i.e. a ratio of 60:1 has an efficiency of 40%.
