8.1 Duty Ratio during Continuous Operation
Operate at duty ratios equal to or greater than the allowable value.
“Duty ratio” refers to a utilization ratio indicating the percentage of the time during which the actuator is operating
in one cycle.
Caution: If an overload error occurs, increase the standstill time to lower the duty or decrease
the acceleration/deceleration.
[How to Calculate Duty]
Calculate the load factor and acceleration/deceleration time ratio and find an applicable duty ratio on a graph of
calculated values.
If the load factor is less than 50%, the actuator can be operated at a duty ratio of 100% (continuous operation).
[1] Load factor LF
The maximum payload capacity at rated acceleration, and rated acceleration/deceleration, are specified in 2,
“Specifications.”
[2] Calculate the acceleration/deceleration time ratio t
od
using the calculation formula below:
Acceleration/deceleration time ratio t
od
=
Acceleration time during operation + Deceleration time during operation / Operating time (%)
Acceleration time = Operating speed [mm/s] / Acceleration during operation [mm/s
2
] (sec.)
Acceleration (mm/s
2
) = Acceleration (G) x 9,800 mm/s
2
Deceleration time = Operating speed [mm/s] / Deceleration during operation [mm/s
2
] (sec.)
Deceleration (mm/s
2
) = Deceleration (G) x 9,800 mm/s
2
[3] Find the applicable duty ratio on the graph based on each load factor LF for which the duty ratio has been
calculated, and the acceleration/deceleration time ratio t
od
.
Example) If the load factor LF is 80% and acceleration/deceleration time ratio t
od
is 80%, a reference duty is
approx. 75%.
LF
= Less than 50%
LF
= 60%
LF
= 70%
LF
= 80%
LF
= 90%

= 100%
