How to Calculate Torque for a Motor

In this video we figure out how to calculate the torque for an electric motor using the excellent Electrical Machines Kit from Matrix TSL. I take measurements using the rig and go through the calculations required step by step to find the torque of the motor. This utilises information explained in previous videos and ties them together in this application.
These videos are designed to help all learners studying electrical science, especially those on the City and Guilds 2365, 5357 and 8202 as well as the EAL Diploma in Electrical Installation.

    I need an answer to the following question for selecting a motor for a particular project. Can you please help me? Suppose I have a car with 1 wheel driven by a single motor. Total weight is 50KG (W). Maximum speed needed is 0.5meter per second (S). Wheel dia is 4.5cm (D). Gear ratio is 100 from motor to wheel (GR). Motor RPM is variable but assume 3000 rpm (R). What is the torque needed for the motor? T =? in N.meter. Both a value and in terms of T(W,S,D,GR,R)

    What I'm trying to understand is how are these formulas universally correct i.e. what if you express values in inches instead of centimeters and instead of grams and kilograms, pounds or ounces or whatever unit they may be using on other planets?

  • @ethanhunt3933

    the formulas work in mertic units, if you have inches you must first convert it to metres before calculating the force or if you have pounds you must first convert that value to kilograms to calculate the correct value, these formulas dont just work with any random values because torque is represented in Newton-metres not Newton-inches for example

    When I went to school, our answers were marked wrong when we did not include Units of Measure. Suggest what you include Units of Measure so that students can readily see that they are multiplying and dividing appropriately. Please clarify how a dynamometer torque arm pressing on a scale provides mass and not force. Thanks.

    I was taught the opposite! Putting letters into an equation after the number turns it into a constant multiplying a variable. 2kg becomes 2 x k x g. See the link below for the mass to force relationship and calculation: kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYKFtrimXZW9e6Q.html

    Example. 3 ft x 3 lbf = 9 ft-lbf. In more complex equations, I would sometimes get mixed up on which item should be in the numerator and which is in the denominator. It becomes obvious when the units cancel out and the answer has the correct units of measure. Ft is one entity, not two. Ft = feet, not Fuuf, Teee and not F x T.
