Calculate Gear Reduction





Formula

The formulas to calculate the output torque (OT) and output RPM (ORPM) are:

\[ OT = IT \times GR \]

\[ ORPM = IRPM \times GR \]

Where:

What is Gear Reduction?

A gear reduction is defined as the change in torque with respect to a set of interlocking gears. It is a process that reduces the speed (RPM) and increases the torque of a motor or engine using a set of gears. The gear reduction ratio determines how much the speed is reduced and how much the torque is increased.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formulas to calculate the output torque (OT) and output RPM (ORPM):

\[ OT = IT \times GR = 100 \times 4 = 400 \text{ Nm} \]

\[ ORPM = IRPM \times GR = 1500 \times 4 = 6000 \text{ RPM} \]

The Output Torque (OT) is 400 Nm and the Output RPM (ORPM) is 6000 RPM.
