Calculation Formula

T_output = T_input × η × (N_input / N_output)

Where:
T_output = Output Torque (Nm)
T_input = Input Torque (Nm)
η = Efficiency
N_input = Input Speed (rpm)
N_output = Output Speed (rpm)

Worm Gear Torque Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Worm Gear Torque Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the input torque in Newton-meters (Nm)
  2. Enter the efficiency of the worm gear system as a percentage (typically between 30-50% for worm gears)
  3. Enter the input speed in revolutions per minute (rpm)
  4. Enter the output speed in revolutions per minute (rpm)
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the output torque

Working Principle

The calculator uses the following formula to determine the output torque of a worm gear system:

T_output = T_input × η × (N_input / N_output)

Where:

  • T_output is the output torque in Nm
  • T_input is the input torque in Nm
  • η is the efficiency of the worm gear system (expressed as a decimal)
  • N_input is the input speed in rpm
  • N_output is the output speed in rpm

Applications

This calculator is useful for:

  • Designing worm gear systems
  • Ensuring the gear system can handle the required load
  • Choosing appropriate motor sizes for worm gear applications
  • Understanding power loss in worm gear systems

Example

Suppose you have a worm gear system with an input torque of 50 Nm, efficiency of 40%, input speed of 1500 rpm, and output speed of 300 rpm. The output torque would be calculated as:

T_output = 50 × 0.4 × (1500 / 300) = 50 × 0.4 × 5 = 100 Nm
