ENGINEERED IN NAIROBI. WORKING ACROSS EAST AFRICA.

Geared motor speed & torque

Estimate gearbox output speed and torque from motor power, ratio and efficiency. This does not select a gearbox.

Enable JavaScript for live calculations. Read the method and default example below.

Method and assumptions

  • n₂ = n₁ / ratio; T₂ = 9550 × output kW / output rpm.
  • Service factor increases the required gearbox rating, not available torque.

Before using the result

  • Verify thermal capacity, peak torque, shock, mounting and shaft loads with the manufacturer.
