    How can we add "motor and ballscrew inertia" to this equation?

    Apparently "motor and ballscrew inertia" is important to the true final figure quoted!

    This equation is just a simplification. I doubt, that the given >4G will be reached at the end.
    An important factor is the acceleration of the motor. How long does it need to reach to maximal rpm? And here you find the inertia of the motor;)

    But as Dirty figured out in his build thread, the inertia of the upper platform is much more relevant;)

    With a direct drive wheel you can feel the lower inertia, because it only has to move a relatively light rim…
