The formula to calculate the Total Torque is:
\[ T = \mu_{\text{collar}} \cdot W_{\text{load}} \cdot R_{\text{collar}} \]
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.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ T = 0.16 \cdot 53 \cdot 0.02 = 0.1696 \text{ Nm} \]
| Coefficient of Friction for Collar (μcollar) | Load (Wload) | Mean Radius of Collar (Rcollar) | Total Torque (T) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.15 | 53 N | 0.02 m | 0.159000000000 Nm |
| 0.16 | 53 N | 0.02 m | 0.169600000000 Nm |
| 0.17 | 53 N | 0.02 m | 0.180200000000 Nm |
