more Torque, Power and Force
Posted: Thu Sep 19, 2019 10:05 am
Another handy spread sheet for those who seem to struggle with the concepts.
Max Torque and Max Power are RARELY made at the same rpm - the Max Torque a motor makes at a certain rpm does not influence the max power at a different rpm!
You also don't need to worry about how much torque or power a motor makes to perform a task, you need to worry about force on the wheels after going through a set of reductions (gear ratios)
This doesn't take into account power train losses etc.
Obviously (I hope) put values in the yellow boxes to get the results out...
