Identification of the Reduced Masses of Different Systems

The different components (cylinder / motors ) have to be dimensioned for the layout of the
necessary forces of a hydraulic system, so that the acceleration and the deceleration of a mass is
correct and targeted.
The mechanics of the system are defining the stroke of the cylinders and motors.
Speed- and force calculations have to be carried out.
Statements with view to acceleration and its effects on the system can be made by fixing the reduced
mass of a system.
The reduced mass (M) is a concentrated mass, exerting the same force and acceleration
components as the regular mass at the correct system.
The reduced moment of inertia (I
e
) has to be considered for rotational systems.
The reduced mass has to be fixed in a first step for considerations with stroke measuring systems or
for applications with deceleration of a mass!
Newtons second axiom is used for the specification of the acceleration forces.
F m a = - F= force [N]
m= mass [kg]

a= acceleration [m/s
2
]

The following equation is applied for rotational movements:
I = - '' I u I= torque [Nm]
= moment of inertia [kgm
2
]

'' u = angular acceleration [rad/s

]

The same result can be obtained by the aid of the energy method (kinetic energy of the mass m). The
dependence of the mass movement with the cylinder movement can be specified with the help of the
geometry of the system.

If a cylinder is moving a mass, as shown in the preceding figure, and the movement is situated
between -30and +30, the acceleration- and deceleration forces have to be calculated in the center
of motion with a reduced mass, twice as large as the one in the neutral center.
