Determining Maximum Rotational Inertia (JT)
Operation
1. Calculate the total rotational inertia by using the following formula:
J T = J R + J F + J D + J S
Where:
J R = rotational inertia for actuator (“Rotational Inertia for Actuator
Components”)
JF = rotational inertia for flange adapter options (“Rotational Inertia for
Actuator Components”)
JD = rotational inertia for diaphragm flexure (“Rotational Inertia for
Actuator Components”)
J S = rotational inertia value for specimen configurations (Step 2)
2. To determine J S, refer to Substeps A, B, and C and select the formula
appropriate to the specimen configuration. Refer to the “Rotational Inertia
Calculations” figure and note that in each formula, m is equal to the mass of
the specimen.
Rotational Inertia Calculations
A. If the specimen is a regular solid mass, use the following formula to
calculate J S :
B. If the specimen is a regular hollow mass, use the following formula to
calculate J S :
C. If the specimen is an offset mass, use the following formula to calculate
J S :
