This paper demonstrates the important relations between acceleration shape and the various characteristics of a drive system. These characteristics are mainly power dissipation, speed and mechanical lifetime. An electrical model gives an easy and direct way to analyse various systemsacceleration controlelectric control equipmentindustrial controlindustrial robotsmachine controlmachine theorymachine toolsmotor drivesoptimal controloptimisationtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
