Re: What is the torque required for speed reducer and what horsepower is required to run it smoothly?
11 March 2010 at 1:29pmThe calculation for torque from power and rotational speed is merely a matter of a conversion factor. Torque (inch-lbs) is 63,025 times the power (hp) divided by rotational speed (rpm).
63,025 x 3 / 60 = 3,150 inch-lbs or 263 ft-lbs.The answers by this expert are based on the best available interpretation of the information provided. The consequences of the application of this information are the responsibility of the user. If clarification is needed, please submit a further question.
