Torque Exerted on Driving Pulley Calculator

Calculate Torque Exerted on Driving Pulley N ±5%

N ±5%

meters ±5%



Formula

The formula to calculate the Torque Exerted on Pulley is:

\[ \tau = (T_1 - T_2) \cdot \frac{d_{driver}}{2} \]

Definition

Torque exerted on pulley is described as the turning effect of force on the axis of rotation. 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. Diameter of Driver is a chord that runs through the center point of the circle.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \tau = (22 - 11) \cdot \frac{0.011}{2} = 0.0605 \]
