torque

torque

(OP)
hi all, am i right that the formula to calculate torque is   kw * 9550/rpm = Nm
does this include ac and dc?
thanks in advance

RE: torque

You can use that equation for AC or DC, for torque is mechanical by all means .

Power (watts) = 2xPixN(RPM)xT(N-m)/60(sec)
Therefore, T(N-m) = 9.548 P(watts)/N(RPM)
So, T(N-m) = 9548 P/N(RPM) if P is expressed in kW.

Regards,


Believe it or not : Had we trusted Archimedes and assigned him the work of lifting the earth(or any mass equivalent to that of earth on earth),with a lever of suitable length, it would have taken him 23 million million years to lift the earth by one centimeter.
