AMCI - How to Size a Motor

Engineers today have an ever growing selection of motion control products to choose from when designing a system. As the variety increases, the need to correctly select the motor solution is becoming critical to ensure the most cost effective design while guaranteeing a reliable and well executed project. That means no longer using overkill or "it's what we did last time" as a design criteria. 

Properly sizing the system is a must. In the past this may have been avoided because it was considered difficult or too time consuming. However if a few simple steps are followed the required information can be gathered that will provide direction to the best fit for the application..
