Shaft Torque vs Shaft Power (P)

Shaft Torque from Power and Speed

When power and speed are known, torque can be back-calculated.

Formula

T = P / omega = P x 60 / (2 pi N)

where P is power in watts, N is speed in RPM, and T is torque in N-m. This is essential for sizing shafts, couplings, and gearboxes.

Example Calculation

A 15 kW motor running at 1500 RPM.

  1. 01P = 15,000 W
  2. 02T = 15,000 x 60 / (2 x pi x 1500)
  3. 03T = 900,000 / 9424.8 = 95.49 N-m
