Required Torque Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Required Torque.
Tr eq = (LT + AT) * SF
- Where Treq is the Required Torque (N-m)
- LT is the load torque (N-m)
- AT is the acceleration torque (N-m)
- SF is the safety factor
How to Calculate Required Torque?
The following example problems outline how to calculate the Required Torque.
Example Problem #1
- First, determine the load torque (N-m). In this example, the load torque (N-m) is given as 13 .
- Next, determine the acceleration torque (N-m). For this problem, the acceleration torque (N-m) is given as 50 .
- Next, determine the safety factor. In this case, the safety factor is found to be 2.
- Finally, calculate the Required Torque using the formula above:
Tr eq = (LT + AT) * SF
Inserting the values from above and solving yields:
Tr eq = (13 + 50) * 2 = 126 (N-m)
Example Problem #2
Using the same method as above, determine the variables required by the equation. For this example problem, these are provided as:
load torque (N-m) = 500
acceleration torque (N-m) = 9
safety factor = 3.5
Enter these given values yields:
Tr eq = LT + AT * SF = 1781.5 (N-m)
