Power, Torque & Speed

Torque from Power and RPM Calculator

Enter mechanical power and shaft speed to calculate ideal shaft torque with metric and imperial output units.

Inputs

Formula

Power-speed-torque relationship

T = P * 60 / (2*pi*n)

Worked example

Using the default values shown in the calculator, the same formula gives the following result. This is a quick sanity check for the calculation, not a design recommendation.

Inputs

Mechanical power
7.5 kW
Shaft speed
1,450 rpm

Result

Shaft torque
49.39 N*m

Frequently asked questions

Is this motor starting torque?

No. It calculates torque corresponding to the entered mechanical power at the entered running speed.

Does it include drivetrain losses?

No. Apply efficiency separately when power is measured at a different point in the drivetrain.
