Chapter 2 Sizing Your System
2.1. Identify Your Load
A load is a device that transfers the actuator output to the desired end effectors.
Loads do not affect the motion type.

Load Type Description Page
Linear Loads Load moves in a straight line. 83
Rotary Loads Load rotates and the system has no translation to linear motion. 86
Rotary Complex Loads
Rotary motion can be translated to linear motion, and vise versa. Inertia,
friction, and/or torque values for the system change with time.
