Hi guys/girls,
How do you calculate torque....??
I have been researching tapered shaft locking devices and have gotten differing results from suppliers when giving RPM and Shaft size........
These are the figures:
130 Hp (96Kw) driving a 40-50 mm shaft at 370 to 400 RPM.
I have been given 4100Nm and 2570Nm for the same equation...???!!!
Can someone run us through the calculations for calculating torque?
Cheers
edited to add this equation as I previously understood it....now I just have no idea
Mt = Nt/2 pi R
Nt being transmitted power
But I must lose something in converting the HP to a usable unit.
