Braking Torque Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Braking Torque.
Tb = TL + TI – TF
- Where Tb is the Braking Torque (N-m)
- TL is the total load torque (N-m)
- TI is the total inertia torque (N-m)
- TF is the total friction torque (N-m)
How to Calculate Braking Torque?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Braking Torque.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the total load torque (N-m). In this example, the total load torque (N-m) is determined to be 50 .
- Next, determine the total inertia torque (N-m). For this problem, the total inertia torque (N-m) is measured to be 40 .
- Next, determine the total friction torque (N-m). In this case, the total friction torque (N-m) is found to be 70.
- Finally, calculate the Braking Torque using the formula above:
Tb = TL + TI – TF
Inserting the values from above and solving yields:
Tb = 50 + 40 – 70 = 20 (N-m)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the formula. For this example problem, these are:
total load torque (N-m) = 8
total inertia torque (N-m) = 400
total friction torque (N-m) = 12
Enter these given values yields:
Tb = 8 + 400 – 12 = 396 (N-m)
