Gearbox Efficiency Calculator Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Gearbox Efficiency Calculator.
Egear = OT / (IT * GR) *100
- Where Egear is the Gearbox Efficiency Calculator (%)
- OT is the output torque (N-m)
- IT is the input torque (N-m)
- GR is the gear ratio
How to Calculate Gearbox Efficiency Calculator?
The following example problems outline how to calculate the Gearbox Efficiency Calculator.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the output torque (N-m). In this example, the output torque (N-m) is given as 100 .
- Next, determine the input torque (N-m). For this problem, the input torque (N-m) is given as 30 .
- Next, determine the gear ratio. In this case, the gear ratio is found to be 4.
- Finally, calculate the Gearbox Efficiency Calculator using the formula above:
Egear = OT / (IT * GR) *100
Inserting the values from above and solving yields:
Egear = 100 / (30 * 4) *100 = 83.33 (%)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the equation. For this example problem, these are provided as:
output torque (N-m) = 150
input torque (N-m) = 50
gear ratio = 5
Enter these given values yields:
Egear = 150 / (50 *5) *100 = 60 (%)
