electric motors in mechanical parallel 1

[mrspam]

What is the relationship between power, torque, and speed of two or more Electric motors geared together?

Thanks,

Speed must of course be the same.

Torque will be the sum.

Power is total torque X speed X appropriate conversion factors for unit system of you preference.

If the electrical power supply is not from the same source, expect problems.

I think the above assumes that the motors are identical. If not, it would depend on the characteristics of those particular motors, and would not be a general relationship.
