Holding or Braking or Fixing Torque on Fixed Member given Input and Output Torque Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Total Torque is:

\[ T = -(T_1 + T_2) \]

Where:

\(T\) is the Total Torque (Nm)
\(T_1\) is the Input Torque on Driving Member (Nm)
\(T_2\) is the Output Torque or Load Torque on Driven Member (Nm)

Definition

Total Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. Force is what causes an object to accelerate in linear kinematics.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Input Torque on Driving Member (\(T_1\)) = 17 Nm
Output Torque or Load Torque on Driven Member (\(T_2\)) = 18 Nm

Using the formula:

\[ T = -(17 + 18) \]

Evaluating:

\[ T = -35 \text{ Nm} \]

The Total Torque is -35 Nm.
