Maximum Torque Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Maximum Torque.
Tmax = 5252 / RS * HP
- Where Tmax is the Maximum Torque (lb-ft)
- RS is the maximum rotational speed (RPM)
- HP is the maximum horsepower (hp)
How to Calculate Maximum Torque?
The following two example problems outline how to calculate the Maximum Torque.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the maximum rotational speed (RPM). In this example, the maximum rotational speed (RPM) is measured to be 40.
- Next, determine the maximum horsepower (hp). For this problem, the maximum horsepower (hp) is calculated to be 30.
- Finally, calculate the Maximum Torque using the formula above:
Tmax = 5252 / RS * HP
Inserting the values from above and solving the equation with the imputed values gives:
Tmax = 5252 / 40 * 30 = 3939 (lb-ft)
Example Problem #2:
Using the same process as example problem 1, we first define the variables outlined by the formula. In this case, the values are:
maximum rotational speed (RPM) = 15
maximum horsepower (hp) = 29
Entering these values yields:
Tmax = 5252 / 15 * 29 = 10153.866 (lb-ft)
