Examples of electronic gear calculations:
To set the unit travel distance to 0.01 (1/100) mm for an actuator a ball screw lead of 10mm,
equipped with an encoder of 16384pulses/rev.
The electronic gear numerator (CNUM) is calculated as 2048, while the electronic gear
denominator (CDEN) is calculated as 125. Based on these settings, the travel distance per
command pulse train input pulse becomes 0.01mm.
Caution:
� The fraction has to be completely reduced so both the electric gear numerator
(CNUM) and electric gear denominator (CDEN) can be 4096 or less and make them
to be integral numbers. (Do not stop reducing the fraction on the way.)
� CNUM and CDEN on the line axis have to satisfy the following relative formulas.
� Use rotary actuators of multi-rotation specification within the range where the
following formula is satisfied. Moreover, the maximum rotation angle is �9999
(note 1)
deg (maximum software stroke limit).
Maximum rotation angle : Set the usage conditions (MAX. -9999 to 9999 deg)
Note 1 :The following models can not be rotated up to �9999.99 [deg].

Unit Travel Distance
: Travel distance per command pulse
� Do not set the minimum movement unit out of the encoder resolution ability. If this
setting is conducted, the actuator would not start moving until enough command
pulse is stored in the encoder resolution error.
� Pay attention not to exceed the specification limit when setting the velocity,
acceleration and deceleration.
