Required torque of the application (with losses)
Provided that the friction torque of the application is proportional to the torque to be transmitted,
the torque of the application can be calculated with the following equation:
[7-117] Equation 11: Required torque of the application (with losses)
Tip!
Further equations to complete the calculations required for an application can be found in
