Torque Formula:
| From: | To: |
Hydraulic motor torque is the rotational force produced by a hydraulic motor, calculated based on the motor's displacement and the system pressure. It's a crucial parameter for determining the motor's ability to perform mechanical work.
The calculator uses the torque formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates the theoretical torque output of a hydraulic motor based on its physical characteristics and operating pressure.
Details: Accurate torque calculation is essential for proper hydraulic system design, motor selection, and ensuring that the motor can provide sufficient force for the intended application without being overloaded.
Tips: Enter displacement in m³/rev and pressure in Pascals (Pa). Both values must be positive numbers. The calculator will provide torque in Newton-meters (Nm).
Q1: What is hydraulic motor displacement?
A: Displacement is the volume of fluid required to rotate the motor's output shaft one revolution, typically measured in m³/rev or cm³/rev.
Q2: How does pressure affect torque?
A: Torque is directly proportional to pressure. Higher system pressure results in higher torque output from the hydraulic motor.
Q3: What are typical units for hydraulic measurements?
A: Displacement is often in cm³/rev (1 cm³ = 0.000001 m³), pressure in bar (1 bar = 100,000 Pa), and torque in Nm.
Q4: Is this formula accurate for all hydraulic motors?
A: This formula provides theoretical torque. Actual torque may be slightly less due to mechanical efficiency losses in the motor.
Q5: Can I use this calculator for hydraulic pumps?
A: While the principle is similar, pumps have different efficiency considerations. This calculator is specifically designed for hydraulic motors.
