Load on the Arm

When you attach a camera, valve or other devices to the arm, calculate the weight as the equivalent of the shaft. Then, add this to the weight of the load attached to the shaft, and enter the total weight to the Weight parameter.

Equivalent Weight Formula

When you attach a camera, valve or other devices to the arm, calculate the weight as the equivalent of the shaft. Then, add this to the weight of the load attached to the shaft, and enter the total weight to the Weight parameter.
If external wiring units (besides cables) are connected near the user connector on Arm #2’s side, add 0.16 kg to the shaft’s equivalent weight reduced value.

Equivalent Weight Formula
W_M=M×(L_M+L₁)²/(L₁+L₂)²
W_M: equivalent weight
M: weight of the load of the Arm
L₁: length of Arm #1
L₂: length of Arm #2
L_M: distance from rotation center of Joint #2 to center of gravity of the camera etc.

Example:
Calculates [Weight] parameter when a “1 kg” camera is attached to the end of the LS50-C arm (500 mm away from the rotation center of Joint #2) with a load weight of “2 kg”.
W=2
M =1
L₁=550
L₂=450
L_M=500
W_M=1×(500+550)²/(450+550)²=1.11 (Round up to two decimal)
W+W_M=2+1.11=3.11

Enter “3.11” for the Weight Parameter.
