Torque (tau) is calculated using the formula:
(tau = F x r)
Where (F) is the force in kgf and (r) is the radius in meters.
Torque is a measure of rotational force that causes an object to rotate or twist around a pivot point.
Torque (τ) is calculated using the formula τ = F x r, where F is the force applied and r is the distance from the axis of rotation to where the force is applied.
Common units for measuring torque include Newton-meters (Nm), kilogram-force meters (kgf·m), and foot-pounds (ft·lb).
Force is a push or pull that causes an object to change its state of motion, while torque is a rotational force that causes an object to rotate.
The distance from the axis of rotation affects how much rotational force (torque) is generated by a given linear force.
This calculator is specifically designed for calculating force due to torque at a given distance. For other types of torque calculations, you may need different formulas or tools.
Choose units that match your input values. For example, if your force is in Newtons and your distance is in meters, use Nm as your unit for torque.
Entering negative values may not provide meaningful results since physical forces and distances are typically positive quantities in this context.
The calculator should be able to handle large numbers within reasonable limits; however, extremely large values might lead to precision issues.
The results are accurate based on the input values and assumptions made about the formula τ = F x r. However, real-world applications may involve additional factors affecting accuracy.
This formula is commonly used in engineering fields such as mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, and robotics to calculate rotational forces.
This formula assumes linear relationships between force and distance; for non-linear systems, more complex models may be required.
Friction can reduce the effective torque by opposing rotational motion; however, this calculator does not account for frictional losses.
Currently, this calculator does not have a save feature; you will need to take note of your results manually or use external tools to save them.
