What is the difference between rated speed and output speed in servo motors?

In summary, the difference between "Rated speed nC(1/min)" and "output speed" in servo motors is that rated speed is the maximum speed at the rated torque, while output speed is the maximum speed when the motor is unloaded. In terms of gearboxes, they also have their own speed ratings and may function at higher speeds, but this could affect noise levels and lifespan. The rated power of a motor is determined by the rated RPM and torque, and either of these values can exceed the rated value, but not both at the same time. To clarify conflicting information, it is best to contact the supplier or manufacturer directly.

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.
 

FAQ: What is the difference between rated speed and output speed in servo motors?

What is the rated speed of a servo motor?

The rated speed of a servo motor is the maximum speed that the motor is designed to operate at. It is typically measured in revolutions per minute (RPM) or radians per second (rad/s).

What is the output speed of a servo motor?

The output speed of a servo motor is the actual speed at which the motor is currently operating. It is affected by factors such as the load on the motor, the input voltage, and the control signal.

Are the rated speed and output speed always the same?

No, the rated speed and output speed of a servo motor can be different. The rated speed is the maximum speed that the motor is capable of, while the output speed can vary depending on the operating conditions.

How do the rated speed and output speed affect the performance of a servo motor?

The rated speed determines the maximum speed at which the motor can operate, while the output speed affects the precision and accuracy of the motor's movements. A higher output speed can result in faster and more precise movements, but it may also increase the risk of overheating and wear on the motor.

Can the rated speed and output speed be adjusted?

Yes, the rated speed and output speed of a servo motor can be adjusted through programming or by changing the motor's control signal. However, it is important to ensure that the motor is not operating beyond its rated speed to prevent damage to the motor.
