[[File:motor_vs_load_inertia.jpg|thumb|600px]]In servo motor system, inertia mismatch means the difference of physical inertia between the motor and the load. This is important because any flexibility of motor shaft coupling to load forms an oscillator that has resonance frequency that depends on the inertia mismatch. The higher the load inertia is compared to motor inertia, the lower the resonant frequency comes.

In servo motor system, inertia mismatch means the difference of physical inertia between the motor and the load. This is important because any flexibility of motor shaft coupling to load forms an oscillator that has resonance frequency that depends on the inertia mismatch. The higher the load inertia is compared to motor inertia, the lower the resonant frequency comes.  
  
It is generally to avoid higher than 10:1 inertia mismatch, meaning that load inertia should be no more than 10 times the motor's inertia. However, for good [[servo stiffness]] it is recommended to keep mismatch below 5:1 or even 3:1. The lower the better. Some most demanding applications may require ratio of 1:1 or even 0.7:1 (motor inertia greater than load inertia). However, with very stiff machine construction combined with other countermeasures, mismatch of 1000:1 or more is possible. Achieving that however, might require deeper understanding of the physics behind this phenomenon.

High inertia mismatch typically causes difficulties achieving good [[servo stiffness]] without getting oscillations/overshooting or instability.

Load inertia depends on the size and shape of the load. Also in lead screw mechanics, the inertia will be the sum of rotary inertia and reflected linear inertia. For various calculation equations, see the links below:
