Gear Box Torque Question
Gear Box Torque Question
(OP)
Just wondering if the torque output on a belt drive is directly proportional to the ratio of the belt drive?
I have a motor with a rated speed of 1185 RPM and a pump with a rated speed of 372 RPM.
The rated torque of the motor is 1187Nm.
Would the torque applied to the pump be equal to:
pulley ratio = 1185/372 = 3.2
torque = 3.2 * 1187 = 3798Nm
Thanks
