2.1 Motor Sizing

This software is for selecting the motor model. Operation patterns need to be
calculated separately.
In addition, note that items such as the static friction torque for the electromagnetic
brake, torque for the current cutback function, regeneration operation energy, and
stopping accuracy of gear reducer are not considered.
In this software, there are portions where the calculation formula and input values
are simplified.
Therefore, calculation results and actual conditions may differ.
