Winding Tension Formula
The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Winding Tension.
WT = T / WR
Variables:
- WT is the Winding Tension (lbf)
- T is the winding torque (in-lbf)
- WR is the winding radius (in)
To calculate a winding tension, divide the winding torque by the winding radius.
How to Calculate Winding Tension?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Winding Tension.
- First, determine the winding torque (in-lbf).
- Next, determine the winding radius (in).
- Next, gather the formula from above = WT = T / WR.
- Finally, calculate the Winding Tension.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem :
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
winding torque (in-lbf) = 275
winding radius (in) = 5
WT = T / WR = ?
