Enter the voltage, current, efficiency, and rpm of an electric motor to determine the torque produced by the motor.
Electric Motor Torque Formula
The following formula is used to calculate an electric motor torque.
t = (I*V*E/100*60)/(rpm*2*pi)
- Where I is the current (amps)
- V is the voltage (volts)
- E is the efficiency of the motor (%)
- RPM is the rotations per minute
Electric Motor Torque Definition
Electric motor torque is the total torque generated by an electric motor given a current, voltage, efficiency, and RPM.
