Calculate Torque Exerted on Driven Pulley







Formula

The formula to calculate the Torque Exerted on Pulley is:

\[ \tau = \left(T_{1} - T_{2}\right) \cdot \frac{d_{follower}}{2} \]

Definition

Torque exerted on pulley is described as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation. In brief, it is a moment of force. Tension in tight side of belt is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object. Tension in slack side of belt is described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, a cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object. The diameter of follower is a chord that runs through the center point of the circle. It is the longest possible chord of any circle.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \tau = \left(22 - 11\right) \cdot \frac{0.014}{2} = 0.077 \]
