Dear experts, please help. I work in the field of electric actuators. The torque generated by our devices is 250 NM. If we use these devices to lift heavy objects, I want to know what kinds of objects can be lifted In short, I just want to know the relationship between horsepower and torque!
Torque (newton-meters) = magnitude of force (newtons) * radius of rotation (meters)
P = T * n / 9550 ; T = 9550P / n, where P is power in kilowatts, kw ; T torque, Newton-meters, Nm ; n: rotational speed, revolutions per minute, r/min. 9550 is a constant.
The newton is a unit of force, while the newton-meter is a unit of torque. Torque is equal to force multiplied by the lever arm.
Hello, thank you for your answer. According to your formula, power and foot-pounds can be converted into one another, right? Well then, let’s assume that a motor has a power of 1.5 KW and a rotational speed of 2800 r/min. If this motor is used to lift heavy objects, how much weight can it lift?
The two are different units; the newton is a unit of force, while the newton-meter is a unit of torque.
I know they are not from the same organization, but in real life he definitely exists; for example, with a winch, the electric motor delivers power and torque, which are used to lift heavy objects; For example, in our cars, the engine generates power and torque, but it is these that drive a car weighing over a ton; all this shows that there must be a relationship between Newton-meters and horsepower
Force and torque; torque is the physical quantity by which force causes an object to rotate
Newton-meter is the work required to lift a cow 1 meter high, where the unit ‘newton’ represents the weight of a cow. Is this a bit easier to understand?
Okay, thank you! If an electric motor with an output torque of 500 NM is used to pull this cow, what is the maximum weight of a cow it can pull, in kilograms? Thank you!
