Load weight in pounds - determine if any dead weights adds to the load (such as chain or belts).

All of the moving mass should be included to calculate the inertia.

Dead weight and non-load weight that is moving linearly.
The traveling velocity of the load in feet per minute.

To calculate the velocity based on wheel, drum, sprocket pitch diameter and rotational speed ( rpm ) see "Linear velocity" Calculation.

The motor speed under full-load conditions.
( Full-load means listed nominal power )

For values see the motor section of the catalog.
