Understanding Your System Solution Chapter 3
3.2.2.3. Efficiency Analysis
Click Efficiency Analysis to analyze the contribution of various system
parameters to the overall efficiency of the system.
You can use this information to optimize the system configuration and reduce the
torque, power consumption, or energy loss in the system. For example, if more
torque is applied toward overcoming the preload on a ball screw than towards
moving the load, this may indicate a good place for further analysis.
3.2.2.3.1. Torque Tab
Click the Torque tab to identify the torque contributions of the various system
components.
Figure 164 - Torque Tab
Click either the Peak Torque Analysis or RMS Torque Analysis option to display
the data. The torque analysis for the critical profile segment is displayed by
default when you open the Efficiency Analysis dialog box. To change the
Segment Number, click the Forward or Backward arrows.
The torque contributions of each system parameter are listed in descending order.
To view the torque contribution of a particular system parameter for all profile
segments, click the arrow next to the system parameter.
