trapezoidal move duration calculator online

Use trapezoidal move duration calculator online for distance mm, maximum mm s, acceleration mm s2. Rest-to-rest symmetric acceleration with a triangular profile for short moves. Idealized robotics model using explicit dimensions and conventions. Obstacles, structural limits and control-system safety are not determined.

How to use it

Enter distance mm. Set maximum mm s, acceleration mm s2. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
distance mmMain input. Positive values. 100
maximum mm sOption. Positive values. 50
acceleration mm s2Option. Positive values. 100

Calculation method

profile = motionProfile(distance_mm,maximum_mm_s,acceleration_mm_s2) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply trapezoidal move duration calculator to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Rest-to-rest symmetric acceleration with a triangular profile for short moves.

Trapezoidal Move Duration Calculator — worked case

Settings: maximum mm s: 50; acceleration mm s2: 100

Input:

100

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "profile": {
    "peak_mm_s": 50,
    "acceleration_seconds": 0.5,
    "cruise_seconds": 1.5,
    "total_seconds": 2.5
  }
}

Choose the right tool

Use forward kinematics to map joints to a position and inverse kinematics for reachable position targets. Encoder resolution is not mechanical accuracy; supplied motion and gripping models do not certify a robot cell.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Rest-to-rest symmetric acceleration with a triangular profile for short moves. Idealized robotics model using explicit dimensions and conventions. Obstacles, structural limits and control-system safety are not determined.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
