Torque From Power

Shaft torque from mechanical power and rotational speed.

Mechanical & Motion

Shaft torque from mechanical power and rotational speed.

App id: MECH-02. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

τ = P / ω,  ω = 2πf

Inputs

NameUnit
Shaft powerkW
Rotational speedrpm
Measured torque (optional)N-m

Outputs

NameUnit
Torque (hero result)N-m
Angular velocityrad/s

Diagnose

Observations are context. They do not pass or fail a structure. See Diagnose.

WhenObservationSeverity
frequency hz < 10Very low rotational speedcaution
frequency hz > 20000Very high rotational speedcaution
ratio ≤ 0.95 and ratio < 1.05Power balance inconsistentcaution

Assumptions

  • Power is shaft power, not electrical input, unless that is what you entered.
  • Optional measured torque is only used to screen power balance.

Provenance

  • P = τω with rotational frequency converted to rad/s.
