How is duty cycle calculated?

How to Calculate Duty Cycle Formula. In general, the duty cycle formula often used for calculation is expressed as Compressor time on / (time on + time off) = Duty Cycle percentage. For another example, say a compressor has a 2-minute total cycle time and runs for 1 minute during the cycle.

What is 50% duty cycle?

50% Duty Cycle

If an air compressor has a 50% duty cycle, the compressor can provide air power for half of its total cycle time. Therefore, if the compressor cycles for a total of two minutes, you can draw pressurized air from the machine for durations of 60 seconds.

What is a 1% duty cycle?

For example, if a motor runs for one out of 100 seconds, or 1/100 of the time, then, its duty cycle is 1/100, or 1 percent.

How do you calculate the duty cycle of a machine?

Let's assume the machine takes 1.5 minutes to complete one full cycle, considering both the time to move and any dwell time between cycles. One cycle every 1.5 minutes means 40 cycles per hour (60 min/hr ÷ 1.5 min/cycle = 40 cycles/hr).
