The Shaft Torque Calculator is a revolutionary tool designed to help engineers, machinists, and students calculate torque with unmatched precision. Whether you’re working with a steel shaft or analyzing shaft flex, this calculator simplifies complex torque calculations into a user-friendly experience.

Torque, a pivotal factor in mechanical engineering, refers to the twisting force applied to a shaft, directly influencing its rotation. Accurate calculations ensure optimal shaft performance and safety. With our Shaft Torque Calculator, you no longer need to rely on manual methods or lengthy formulas.

How to Calculate Shaft Torque?

To calculate shaft torque, the formula typically used is:

$$T=\frac{P}{\mathrm{\omega <span\; style="font-family:\; sans-serif;\; font-size:\; var(--bs-body-font-size);\; text-align:\; var(--bs-body-text-align);"></span>}}$$

Where:

• $T$ = Torque (N·m)
• $P$ = Power (Watts)
• $\omega$ = Angular velocity (radians per second), calculated as:
  $\omega = \frac{2 \pi \text{RPM}}{60}$
  

This formula provides the foundation for the calculations in our tool, making it easier to determine torque in real-time.

FAQs

How to calculate the torque of a shaft?

Use the formula T = P / ω, where P is power, and ω (omega) is angular velocity derived from RPM.

How do you calculate torque from shaft power?

Divide the power by the angular velocity of the shaft. Angular velocity can be calculated as ω = (2 π × RPM) / 60.

What is torsion in a shaft?

Torsion refers to the twisting of a shaft due to torque. It directly affects the shaft’s stress and strain.

How do you calculate output shaft torque?

Output torque depends on input power and the shaft’s rotational speed. Use the formula T = P / ω for precise results.
