Calculate Pulley Torque





Formula

The formula to calculate the Torque (T) acting on a pulley in a belt-drive system is:

\[ T = \frac{F \cdot r}{n} \]

Where:

What is Pulley Torque?

Pulley torque is defined as the total torque acting on a drive pulley of a belt-drive system moving at a constant velocity. It is a measure of the rotational force applied to the pulley.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the Torque:

\[ T = \frac{100 \cdot 0.5}{0.9} = 55.56 \text{ N*m} \]

This means that the torque for this example is approximately 55.56 N*m.
