Output Shaft Speed Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Output Shaft Speed (OSS) is:

\[ OSS = \frac{ISS}{GR} \]

Where:

\(OSS\) is the output shaft speed (RPM)
\(ISS\) is the input shaft speed (RPM)
\(GR\) is the gear ratio

What is Output Shaft Speed?

Output shaft speed is the rotational speed at which the output shaft of a gearbox rotates. It is determined by the speed of the input shaft and the gear ratio of the gearbox. The gear ratio is the ratio of the number of teeth on the output gear to the number of teeth on the input gear. This speed is crucial for designing mechanical systems and ensuring that machinery operates within safe and efficient parameters.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Input Shaft Speed (ISS) = 3000 RPM
Gear Ratio (GR) = 4

Using the formula to calculate the Output Shaft Speed (OSS):

\[ OSS = \frac{ISS}{GR} = \frac{3000}{4} = 750 \]

The Output Shaft Speed (OSS) is 750 RPM.
