1. What is a Torque to Watts Calculator?

Definition: This calculator converts torque (rotational force) and angular velocity to mechanical power in watts.

Purpose: It helps engineers and technicians determine the power output or requirement of rotating machinery.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Power (Watts)
• \( T \) — Torque (Newton-meters)
• \( \omega \) — Angular velocity (radians per second)

Explanation: Power is the product of torque and angular velocity, representing the rate at which work is done in a rotational system.

3. Importance of Torque-Power Calculation

Details: Accurate power calculation is essential for motor selection, mechanical design, and energy efficiency analysis in rotating systems.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter torque in Newton-meters and angular velocity in radians per second. Both values must be positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How do I convert RPM to rad/s?
A: Multiply RPM by 0.10472 (2π/60) to get rad/s.

Q2: What's the difference between torque and power?
A: Torque is rotational force, while power is the rate of doing work (force × speed).

Q3: Can I use this for electric motors?
A: Yes, this applies to any rotating system including electric motors.

Q4: What if I know power and need torque?
A: Rearrange the formula: \( T = \frac{P}{\omega} \)

Q5: What are typical torque values?
A: Small motors: 0.1-10 Nm, car engines: 100-500 Nm, industrial motors: up to several thousand Nm.
