Enter the load torque (N-m), the acceleration torque (N-m), and the safety factor into the calculator to determine the Required Torque.

## 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

1. First, determine the load torque (N-m). In this example, the load torque (N-m) is given as 13 .
2. Next, determine the acceleration torque (N-m). For this problem, the acceleration torque (N-m) is given as  50 .
3. Next, determine the safety factor. In this case, the safety factor is found to be 2.
4. 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:
